GolemGear BOV. I have one from the first production run, it works really well. Under no circumstances do I want to be CCR diving without one.

Big vote of approval

for the Golem option from me as well.

Mine has traveled around the globe, been bashed about in suit cases, rummaged through and roughly handled by security personel. It's got a couple scratches, but it works perfectly.

Took it all apart yesterday, and appreciate the engineering and design that has been put into it. Happy to have ol Golem there to save my life if/when things get too scary

and out of control.

Tyler: The Golum Gear BOV is a great piece of equipment but I don't have one so I mounted the KISS BOV on my rEvo. The only necessary alteration was some rubber bike tire inner tube material over the male ends of the BOV to make the Ray hoses fit better. More inner tube on the outside to protect the hoses from the hose clamps.

I used a long (50 inch, I think) LP hose running from an elbow fitting on the bottom of my dil reg. I wrapped the cables for the HUD around the LP hose and it all worked nicely. Good Luck. Peter
