Please note: I never said a BP/Wing combo is bad, in fact (as I said) - "today I would buy one too". The reason for the restitching is that when (in the beginning) my straps were not adjusted properly, I was placing too much strain on the padded shoulder straps (running under the 2" webbing). Yanking on these repeatedly caused some stitches to come out. I wouldn't say that this is a defective product because of this, more that it was my fault for this happening. I was simply addressing a question with an honest answer that comes from my experience, AND I advised them to buy a backplate! Don't know what more I can do to appease....at least there weren't any death threats, I suppose :-) Gene (BTW - could this thread die already? No-one here will ever endorse DiveRite, nor would I expect them to, so kicking a dead horse is rather pointless. :-) ) >From: "Jack Purcell" <omegasac@ei*.ne*> >To: "David Shimell" <david.shimell@ta*.co*>, "'G.

Gene Avakyan --------------------------------------------- Direct examination of psychologically healthy people shows pretty clearly that they are positively attracted to the mysterious, to the unknown, to the puzzling and unexplained. This is noteworthy because it contrasts sharply with the psychologically sick person's tendency to be threatened by the unfamiliar, the ambiguous , the unknown.
