Inspiration with TransPac Harness?

njdivr · 16th February 2008, 01:49

I'm looking for opinions on using Dive Rite's TransPac Harness with an Inspiration. I'm currently using Dive Rite's TransPlate Harness and it works great with the modification I made to the counter lungs (easy on/off like the Meg's). Anyway, I find that the unit is overly negative when diving in a wetsuit and a dry suit with light under garments. I'm using AP's wing that comes with the unit and like it very much. I find their harness horrible which is why I'm considering the TransPac. Any thoughts or experiences with the TransPac would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your replies.

I have not used the Transpak but have tried another soft harness. I felt that the unit moved to much on my back compared to a BP.

I have never used a backplate and harness setup, just BC's.

I am now using a transpac with my Optima and it seems like a great thing. It is adjustable to do anything that you can imagine. It fits great and keeps my Rebreather in place without "wobble".

I used a Transpac on my Inspo.
very comfortable, but it may have been due to being more used to it - I used it in the bad old days of O/C.

I now use a DiveRite SS Backplate and Transplate harness, not as comfortable as the Transpac, but I like the Backplate.

It was particularily less stable with a stage bottle attached to either or both sides.
