Before I switched over to the one piece webbing I used the Transpac 2.  The 
quick release never failed but the two piece stap has a buckle on it and it 
would slip when it got wet.  It decided to come apart while I was climbing a 
dive boat ladder in 5 foot seas with Steel 98s and a stage bottle.  I got rid 
of that hunk of crap and have been happier and safest ever since.  A DIR 
harness cannot come apart, period!
