Haven't heard of that. What is it?

Chunk of lead that rests in the channel between your doubles. They come in 8 and 12 lb versions (which can be trimmed down with a wood chisel and hammer if need be)

I stumbled across this :
a 36lb MC System is 430.00 complete,
and asked:
When you say an MC system complete, what are you considering complete?
I'm looking to change out my back inflate BC for a BP/Wing setup.
and got the response:
When I say complete, I mean the whole BC....
The complete system...or BC....consists of the Backplate and harness, Pioneer (or Explorer for doubles) wing, and backplate
pad/storage pack. With the Pioneer system you also get 2 tank or sometimes called "cam" straps with Stainless steel buckles.
Thoughts?

be sure you're not getting gouged for freight.
If you want extra, ditchable weight, you'll need a weight belt or ACB.
The pad / storage pack is overrated IMHO. I'm taking the rig for a spin this Monday without it. If it OK, the "pad" will be sold to someone else as I don't use a lift bag in my diving.
