José Marques, CCR-DIVER here on Rebreather World asked me to post an image of my Armadillo on my Boris so here goes.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Common sense tells me that the harness is tight to your ass and it shouldn't block the shut offs. But...Does it restrict you at all if you have to quickly close one? Also does the Armadillo make a big difference in how your bail out bottles lay. Please write why you like it.
Cheers Frankie

Your arm pit bungees appear a little low? Are they pulling your tank valves up tight into your armpits or are they lower on your side?

No restriction to shutoff as fast as a fast thing in fastville.

Cylinders lay flush with my legs nicely Frankie, I like it because it does with my stage bottles, what I should have been doing with my stage bottles for years, nicely out of the way but right on hand when needed.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Well spotted Curt, it is in fact now attached much further up the backplate and holds them snugly onto my pits.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Hi José,

If you look at Curt's link to the Armoured-Dildo manual it shows it quite explicitly.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.
