AP BOV looks nice

**dive*ski** · 18th March 2007, 23:11

You may have already seen this but the pictures and details Martin Parrker provide on the new BOV was news to me. Noone else posted anything so here is a quick set of the high points from me.

Its very very small compared to anything else I have seen.
Meets the WOB standard at 75M
Integrated ADV
Allows for LP gas from both sides.
Simple and a nice switch over from closed to open by rotating an internal mechanism.
Did I mention it was small.
Should be available in December. Preproduction runs are happening and they are currently tooling up.

On a recent conversation with APD the 2 things they said were gonna be released this year were the APD cage and BOV, may have been sales pitch, will have to wait and see!

A lesson already learned by many, and yet to be learned by many others...

Untill I have it in my hands, it's vapourware.

I've been holding off buying a BOV for the past year, despite desperately wanting one, in order to hold out for the AP unit, but I'm starting to feel like the donkey pulling the cart - the bloody dangling carrot is always just out of reach...

Starting to run low on patience, and probably will invest elsewhere and then get one of these when they do finally hit the market. I'd love to see the pics though, as I'm 95% certain I'll end up with one of these irrespective of what I buy in the meantime...

Just buy a Golem so I can buy it from you when you want to "upgrade"...
