The harness is a Dive-rite, with a quickrelease on one arm. I forgot the brands of the plate(SS) and wing, getting a single tank adapter too. I thought about going for a 12lb plate instead of 6, but I don't want to risk being overweighted when I dive in warm water with my 3mm wet suit.
Good idea -- if you need to move more weight up onto your back for the cold water, the Trident weight pouches are about $10 each and hold up to five pounds. That's what I use.
Congratulations on your new purchase!

hmmm...*scratches chin in deepth thought.... right now, I have 30 on a belt and 6 stuffed into BC pockets(2 fell out the other night when I turned upside down to look under a log, but I recovered it) I'm thinking that it should take my total weight should drop to 30...
Well, you have to play with it, because your BC may have had some intrinsic buoyancy (due to padding). And you have to get the distribution right so that you can stay horizontal without effort. There are lots of ways to move things around until it's just right. And then, every time you change tanks/undergarments/exposure suits etc., you have to do it all over again!

I just graduated from WSU and got a lot of graduation money and believe it me it is really really hard to not go down to the diveshop and get everything I need. I keep telling myself to save for a new apartment but man it is hard.
