Helping buddy and SMBs
Never did find out the correct length for mounting in that style since I found it very uncomfortable (pressing on the back).

Can't imagine why you would want to help your buddy - unless in a cave and then you would have the Ar mounted on the tanks. In openwater you would just ascend if you lost your Ar - if you were in a wreck you would retreat (ring piece clamped up - since loosing all that gas has destroyed the viz ) and enjure the squeeze of any minor descents (few meters) on your way out.

Hate the BC connection SMBs - do you guys like them?

same here
(along with almost the complete halcyon line...helps being a dealer though:-) ... but took the BC connector off...and put a simplier "blow into" version on (salvaged from a rubber doll) and it now packs away even neater:-)

These bags are fantastic for run of the mill stuff - never leave home without it:-)

That is way too low if you ask me. The lower jubilee clip should be on the break of the tank.

I use a Halcyon wing inflator hose for my argon suit inflation. I have it mounted like GI3 - wreck style.

Mark.
