hello everyone
I picked up a xDeep (cross deep) Zen deluxe.
I am 186 cm (6'0 or 6'1) and weigh about 78kg (172 lbs).
Most of my weight is chest/stomach.
I dive with an aluminum 80 and a cuft 13 and a 3mm on top of a rash guard - 4 lbs and I sink.
Currently I have 2 lbs on a weight pocket on the right side of the upper cylinder cam band and another 2 lbs on a pocket on the lower cam band, also right side . Nothing on my waist and this is perfect.
The weights on the right side of the cylinder cam band perfectly offset the weight of the 13 cuft thats on my left side (via shark pony tank strap).
Summer is coming and I imagine I'll drop a pound or two because I'll be back in a rash guard.
The harness looks sloppy and excessive long.
I will never wear more than a 3mm ( did that all winter and was just ok).
How do I go about sizing this?
The crotch strap was too long, so I shortened on other side (v shape harness), till my index finger was at my navel when I pulled up on the crotch strap.
But the shoulder straps are dangling.
The xDeep manual is less than useless but maybe they assume a new buyer is already proficient.
Anyways.
Photographs for reference and much appreciation.
