Interesting - the boyancy figures are slightly different from the erroneous
ones one usually sees quoted (the ones that say they only change 3lbs from
full to empty) - I wonder if PST has actually tried weighing the damn
things?

Did you get any info on the 80's? I wonder if they shorter or skinnier. The
nicest rig I've seen lately are double Farber 85's - with a modest overfill
they hold reasonable amounts of air, and they are almost as svelte as
double 72's.
