Just pulled the trigger on my first BP/W setup. Putting my Zeagle Stiletto up for sale - loved that BCD.
After a lot of great advice on this forum and talking with the lds, I ended up with a full DSS rig. DSS SS medium plate, DSS Torus 26# wing, DSS Hog harness. Rig looks great, the backplate is one of the nicer I looked at, very nice build quality, with rubber protectors on all the slots and I like the angled slots for the shoulder webbing. The wing looks great... very long and narrow and very low profile. Went with the 26 versus the LCD30 or the Oxy V 30 because it is a bit smaller and seemed like it would pack a bit better - and help prevent (for a bit at least!) buying a second smaller wing for tropical. And I like the advantage of having a full DSS rig, easy to break down with the DSS setup, no sta, and they are local to me (SoCal).
Gonna try it all out in a few days and I will report back... see if all this BP/W talk on here is really what everyone makes it out to be!
