Sharing Your Current BP/W Gear List

[certainmisuse]

Hello,

Hopefully enough time has past since the last time this was inevitably asked, but care to share your BP/W gear list? As I'm getting ready for my first BP/W purchases, I want to make sure I'm not missing any great options out there. I'm particularly interested in the following items:

1. Backplate
2. Wing
3. Harness
4. Primary 1st stage
5. Primary 2nd stage
6. Computer
7. SPG
8. Hoses

Thanks so much.

Regards,
David

5. Primary 2nd stage-Argonaut Kraken or Poseidon Jetstream
6. Computer-Perdix AI

If single tank, add sta to your list unless you wing/plate combo allow you to strap without it.

That's right;
if it's good enough for "The Little Mister", it's good enough for scuba diving.
