Well, I'm new to the forum (first post) and bp/w setups, so I figured I'd post my current travel rig up seeing as there was only one other softplate so far...
I have the Oxycheq ultra travel plate and 18lb travel wing, both obviously in digital camo. I'm running a modified DIR style one piece harness, with the extra d-rings on the belt to keep my weight pockets in place and help position the sliding straps. My XS Scuba weight pockets are currently on my weight belt for pearl diving until my new Hog D2 SE regs show up...
I was diving a Zeagle Birgade (Ranger with 35lb wing) until I decided it was too big to stow on my previous ship (Military ships have extremely limited personal space) and my current job has me traveling overseas a lot in support of other ships, so a smaller and lighter setup was a must. The oxycheq travel setup fits into a carry-on sized bag with room for other stuff. Plus I just liked the camo fabric.
So far I've only had it on two pool dives, once each with a 40cuft pony and 100cuft Al tank, before I got sent OCONUS, but I was amazed that I didn't FEEL it there... It really was like I was diving with nothing at all... As soon as my Hogs show up from DRIS (and my temp visa for my host country arrives - needed to rent a tank here) I'm going to get it a lot more exercise and start dialing in my trim on it.
But now that I have tried it, I'm thinking I may just need a SS plate and bigger wing for when I get back to NOLA and the Gulf of Mexico (maybe even start tech diving???). Any suggestions between the Hog and Hollis SS plates? I am leaning towards Hog, but someone mentioned to me that the Hollis is bent a little "more comfortably" at the bottom?
