No price yet, expected to be available Q2 next year.

This is just PURE speculation...

Based on the usual price range for currently available BOVs, I would expect it to be within the US$750-1000 range.

I guess...

I just want to know if it's going to crack from user abuse

Don't know what it was used for on the prototype shown, but I was told it
will not be on the production version of the BOV.

Martin told me the hose could come from either left or right by switching the screw over.

I then asked if you could have 2 feeds runing from 2 side slungs and controling by the pilar valves. At that point he went quiet.

I wonder how easy it would be to adapt the new APD BOV to a Interspiro AGA FF mask? That way you have a lovely BOV with the added safety of full face mask for those rare moments.......

He also siad there would be 3 diferent size mouth pieces for vairous FFM's he metion interspiro as one of them

Think we're all getting confused here

Swapping hoses left to right is a case of taking of a blanking cap and sticking a hose on the connection at the bottom.

The screw in question is on the top

I can hear that quiet!

Not the connector on the second stage, by the way, the small screw on top of the BOV body.

Looking for a little bit of advice here if anyone is able to help. I'm really interested in a BOV and have been waiting for an age for the AP one, which looks like it will be available spring next year. I am also intrested in an FFM.

The set up from Golem Gear with the BOV and Draeger FFM looks really nice and I'm very tempted.

What are peoples thoughts on whether the AP BOV will be compatible with the Draeger FFM or will that be another year or so wait?

I feel that at some stage I need to take the plunge and get something. Apologies if this steers this thread away slightly but it is in relation to the AP BOV.

By the way is anyone out there using the Golem setup with an Evolution?

Cheers
