| I've had my OMS 100lb single-inflator wing, S/S backplate, IQ harness, and steel 12ltr twinset for a few years now.
The wing is very durable. The inflator is getting finicky, probably just needs a service. If you intend to dive the wing with wetsuit at any time in the future, get the dual inflator (see below).
The harness has a design flaw in my opinion. The shoulder D-rings can't be dropped lower than the pinch clips, which are positioned quite high on the chest. This means that stage cylinders sit marginally too high for my liking. I get round that by using a longer loop on the neck of the stage cylinder. I'd prefer a more easily adjustable harness.
As to the amount of lift, I took the harness and wing to the Red Sea last month and dived with four aluminium twelve liter cylinders on a wall. Without that amount of lift at the start of the dive, I would have sunk like a stone. I'd rather have and not need it than need it and not have it.
My twinset is faber steel with MDE manifold. Very nice set. Can't comment on Euro cylinders though they seem to be getting a few mentions recently.  |
