In my experience- * The bondage make it difficult to orally inflate the wings. * The bondage keep your center of buoyancy underneath your tanks rather than at the sides. * The bondage ruins your streamlining, they create extra drag. * The addition of an 2nd inflator contributes to task loading in CF conditions. * The addition of an additional inflator hose increases failure and entanglement points. * Their additional cost is not mitigated by additional usefulness. But I have to admit that since getting rid of mine, the tech groupie babes are not flocking around me as they used to. So I made up for it by strapping 12" pig-stickers to both my legs, gluing a pair of Viking horns to my hood and attaching some fake chest hair to the outside of my drysuit.
