A Pirahna Bpw I built for travel. Lots of DGX love here. Pirahna is comparable to my DGX Bpw in quality and cost. But they offer some different hardware options.

I chose plastic cams, plastic buckle, and an Al d ring to save weight. Al STA with Deep Sea nuts. DGX 30# wing is my lightest wing.

I used only 2 d rings to keep weight down. Left waist band for my SPG. Crotch ring for a place to temporarily hang items if my hands get full. Crotch ring is heavier SS so I can grab the crotch strap easier, with only one or two lewd pelvic thrusts while gearing up.

Used slices of rubber innertube on shoulder straps, incase I do bring a small light along. I can still clip and tuck a light, on the shoulder strap DIR style.

Used shears as my 7' long hose holder.

BP & harness, came in at 2.68#.
STA and cam straps are 1.23#.
3.91# total.

My Helium rig is 3.62# total. At double the cost. But that's all Ti hardware.
 
Cool setup.

I've always wondered about Piranha, they get mentioned here fairly often. I tried reaching out to them to ask some questions about some stuff and never got a response. Plus their website is awful, so its painful to browse what they offer.

Call them direct, they're always happy to help. I find emails on some of the smaller mom and pop shops get lost. Less overhead means less man power to man the battle stations.

I love Piranha.
 
Piranha is great. I ordered about $40 worth of little things and then like a moron clicked the most expensive shipping option which was like $40, so my order totaled $80 something dollars. They called me the next day and asked if I meant to do this, I said no and they changed it for me.
 
Randy is one of the true gems in this world. Always helpful and always picks up his phone. I called once and he answered from his daughter's wedding. I gave him some sh*t for that.

I'm waiting for a box of harness goodies right now, in fact.
