First off, let me say that y'all make AWESOME gear. I've got 3 wings, 2 masks, fins, and backup lights that all say Hollis on them. I'll soon buy a reel and an O2 reg, too!
I have some ideas that might make your wings a wee bit better...
1. Inflation hose. The inflation hose y'all have on there is fine. It works well for what it is. My one complaint is that it is not flat. I want the hose to be as streamlined as possible and, with a hose that is a cylinder, it is not. The Apeks style inflator hoses are oval shaped and sit well on the webbing. I just ordered 3 to put on my Hollis wings. Could these hoses be stock?
2. The butt dump. The butt dump works great. There is not much to screw up with a butt dump. However, can y'all add an additional 2" of string to the dump? All of us DIR guys pull off the knob at the end and want an easy thing to grab. If y'all added 2 more inches of string we could easily pull off the knob, knot the string in a couple of places and be quite happy.
3. Reel. I know, not wings, but this is important. DIR guys want no metal to metal connections in case something gets caught, etc. Can you connect the bolt snap to the reel using cave line and not the pin through the bolt snap hole?
I hope this comes across as constructive from a guy who uses this stuff every day and not me bitchin about the equipment...cause I'm not.
Cheers,
Will
