like Mark Nix said there are a lot of happy Golem Gear BOV owners but I won't put one on a Boris.

Let's be clear It's a great product! but not for the Boris

If you look at the Boris DSV and The Golem Gear BOV you'll notice there is a HUGE difference in the one way check valve sizes. Boris's one way valves are A LOT bigger.

Last year I spoke to CCR about adding this to my Boris and Kevin explained it would work BUT....your work of breathing would go up! He did a lot of testing on his kit for work of breathing. He built the DSV with check valves of this size for a reason. This is one of those mods I wouldn't make to a Boris.
Just my 2 cents
