I dive a SS backplate with 6lb zip tied to it with a 1lb STA, I also need 16lb on a belt. This is wearing a drysuit with a Thermal Fusion as an undergarment. My back has been aching while diving and after dives for a while now. I was considering purchasing the Zeagle ripcord system to install on my plate but then the rig would be too heavy to float it self with the 32lb wing I'm using. I would have to purchase a 40lb wing to float the rig with all the weight in it. I'm thinking I might pull out my old Ranger for the next dive to see if the weight integration helps at all. Has anyone else encountered similar issues? I love diving the BP/W and have been diving it for around eight years or so but I'm not sure what to do at this point.
