After 11h on it: nothing really bad about it, same wob, same scrubber duration, maybe less water on long dives ? less condensation in compare with the grid, definetly less dust (but I'm paranoid so I still hoover it

)

A buddy of mine just added it to his boris today. We did 90 minute dive and his comment was that he could not tell any difference in the WOB.

Dive Safe...

What are they using for the material? Any details would be welcome.

Hey Guys
I only have one dive with the membrane and I couldn't tell any difference in WOB. The Material is about 1/8 inch thick and is rigid. The installation was easy with a 7mm socket. It isn't like a Inspiration scrim. I was told that it is the same hydrophobic membrane that is used on the US Navy mark 16. which means it's a proven material. It can clearly save you from a caustic mouth wash if you flooded or have a leak in your loop. Like Jermoe.........I still Hoover my scrubber because I'm a little paranoid about the dust and I don't want any entering my counter lungs or mouth. I've been using soda sorb which is much dustier then sofonolime. The price for the material is high....But I think worth it. I'll be diving and If I have any problems with it I'll post a up date.
Cheers Frankie
