Subject: Re: Bizarre Mares buckle at BTS
You know, if this was some two bit company or inventor with a bright idea
who rented a table a BTS with dreams of getting rich it would be one thing,
but the fact that it's a major dive gear manufacturer, and that they damn
thing must have gone through many levels of testing an scrutiny from both
design staff and management before actually making it into production, and
none one noticed what a convoluted, unecessary POS it was, is a genuinely
scary comment on the state of the dive industry (as if we need another!).

Especially considering you just don't need it - Scubapro has had a darn
near perfect buckle for years now, and, while SP has a patent on it, the
principles just aren't that unique or exotic that that everyone else
couldn't have something just as good, if they'd just make the effort and
spend the extra dollar or two over those damn plastic camloks.

Come to think of it, Halcyon is supposed to have a new SS cam buckle -
anyone tried one?
