| Re: O2 slug
discussions like this are always informative. It brings me to a train of thought from the design/mfg perspective however. That being, was there a specific reason that the O2 button was put on the inhale lung...or alternatively, it ended up on the inhale lung and a valid reason for it was found later?
What I do like about the Meg is the intuitive loop direction (inhale over right, exhale over left). If this were the primary design intention, and a rich on right/lean on left mantra was sought after, then the O2 button could've 'ended up' there. I'd be interested in comments from ISC on this.
I'm not saying its a bad way of going about things, as I can appreciate that many, if not all, of the units out there were developed very. very early in the game and there wasn't enough insight, data, or practical field time out there to validate a number of the designs. Consider how long they've been around, and just now (within a year/two) this design is questioned! |
