There goes the Halcyon marketing team again … he is in the UK … find another brand to tout

I didn’t know that you couldn’t buy halcyon products in Europe. If you have another weighted STA brand post it up.

I’m not that interested in STA’s. Do some market research for locally relevant brands other than Halcyon before touting for Halcyon next time.

BerTec also makes a P weight system that sits in the channel on the inside of the plate. Pretty nifty.

What are you doing to your webbing that abrasion is a concern?

I have replaced >10 year old webbing that wasn’t ready to give up the ghost. $20 every ten years is less than a single apres-dive round
