Al, you ask how a set of fine double bladder bondage wings can keep you warm? Ignore the obvious "Bonfire of the Stupidities" they invoke, or the warming of your heart knowing you have given a direct donation to the mentally handicapped, or the concept that you could have been warmed by a nice campfire fueled by the money you flushed down the toilet on these fine items, think of the number of times gear like this would keep you from ever getting your feet wet in the first place. Owning a set of failed bondage wings can save you a lot of money over a season in dives missed ( that is if you bother to check the pieces of shit in the first place before plummeting to your death due to the extreme weight of the unbalanced rig implied by the "bondage solution"). As you can see - some of the worst strokes and clearly the biggest idiots in the game use devices like this - in fact they "swear" by them. Bondage wings are sucker bait - they are meant to be a big score for the dive shop primate who sells them to the uninitiated, or the cheesy scumbag "instructor" who get his kickeback on them. They appeal quite readily to anyone who knows nothing about diving, and as such are usually rammed down some student's throat after he is told that the "standards" of some dislexic half wit are the reason you have to have them in the first place, or that you have to have them so you can buy tanks that cost three times as much as any other tanks and are totally unnecesssary, and useless. If you are cave diving, they are too light, if you are ocean diving, they are too heavy. If you are a sucker, the whole package is "just right". -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
