Release the crotchstrap, and don off the rig with a swinging motion, releasing first one arm, then the other, or just bend down into the water and drag it across your neck in front of you. No problem with a neutral to slightly heavy rig. -Matthias > > > > My current kit configuration uses a Transpac II and twin steel 10's or > 12's.
