Dsix frame + LP27 + Cover

edasque · 2nd June 2008, 14:19

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else with this configuration had any difficulty keeping the cover flaps flush with the rebreather body. I am talking about those that are not directly tied to the frame but that tuck under the head's cover, supposedly tied in place by straps on both side. It's a little exacerbated by the new frame but mainly due to the size of the LP27.

Any idea ? I look like a manta ray with those little flaps on the side.

I had problems with the bottom cover coming out of the top on the sides. I had straps with clips installed on both sides under the weight pocket and over the lower cover. Fixed the problem.

Could you post some pics... It would help all to see where you placed them...

I do not have the DSix frame. However, I occasionally have this problem because I stuff a life raft and survival provisions inside of my case. If you keep the strap that ties the bottom of the case to the foot brace a little looser, this will improve things though it might not be a complete cure.

What's for dinner?

Where do you find a life raft small enough to fit in there?

Not all of us are using them as purses.... Mine is in the shop getting fitted with Meg seeking mini - missiles.... Two on each side, each capable of taking out multiple Megs.....
