I had a Deepoutdoors beaver tail for a couple of weeks... couldn't get on with it... kept sitting on it, and it was really uncomfortable.

The under arm pouches look better, but still hard to access. I think you'd be better off bungieing stuff to you stage tanks or putting a wing waist or a drysuit pocket on..

I'd go for pockets on a drysuit, but then I would wouldn't I?

Been using the OMS EDS (emergency deployment system ), fancy name for butt pack for some years now ! .

Have found it to be excellent to keep an SMB and either a lift bag or emergency SMB and it has a zip pouch for a strobe or other signaling device .

I clip it off to the backplate with a couple of bolt snaps so it can be used or not at any time depending on the dive !.

I have a set of narked at 60 ones on my wing and they are handy for storing stuff in like sea weights but are a pain to access underwater to get anything out of.

Using my drysuit pockets or clipping things to my stages or waist / shoulder straps is much more accessible.

Pockets on the drysuit are a much better alternative and are much easier to stow and deploy from when underwater.

A couple of pieces of 5mm bungee are a cheaper alternative for SMB stowage at the bottom of the backplate.

I use the one on the left with my set-up. I have a DSMB stuffed into it, with the reel cliped to my hip D-ring.

Never had any problems using it.
