I've been diving for about seven years now and have been interested in technical diving and more recently the DIR = philosophy. I'm not real please with some of the comments made by a few DIR's vs Non-DIR's.. but to each his own I guess... I recently purchased the Halcyon wing/backplate setup and find that it = is indeed very comfortable. I have found that the strap is relatively short. While reading through some posts, I've found that some = individuals have a good foor left over. I'm sure that the=20 suit has a great deal to do with it...I'm 5'11 and about 217 and with my = 400g undergarments and Clx450 drysuit, I find that the=20 shoulder openings need to be pretty small in order to leave sufficient = length to secure the strap. Granted, "things settle with age" but is everybody else facing this also. Trying to donn this setup is near next = to impossible with much help from your buddy...I sometimes=20 feel like falling back on my Dacor RIG...
