Adding a shoulder dump on the Brigade

[DeeDoubleYou]

I have a small Brigade and it has only the dump valve/inflator hose on the left shoulder. I would like to add an additional dump valve on the right shoulder like most other BCs have. Has anyone done this? What are your thoughts?

I like having the ability to dump air no matter what my body position is. I know I can lean to my right and pull my inflator hose to dump, but I think it would be handy to have one on the right side as well.

I have one on my Tusa back inflate BC and it rocks - it actually has four dumps for dumping in ANY position... talk about really nice...

I am not GUE, but I am gonna say it. Just another failure point. You don't need it.

Should we add another RC to your jump rig?

Sleep well tonight.
You don't need it.

I would not bother with it. Thats just me though.

Might be nice, sometimes, but to tell you the truth, I've never seen a need for one on mine. Usually I use the rear dumps. When ascending/descending the left shoulder. I suppose if I were trapped on my left side in a heads-up position, say against the ceiling of an overhead I'd be in trouble.

Methinks DW is not so much interested in adding a dump valve, as he is looking for a way to reach that 250 post mark.

Check out the Man's Laws section. Plenty of posting to be done there.

Actually I had an older Scubapro back inflate and it had a pull dump on the left shoulder, and I prefered it to the inflater hose dump valve. When I got my ranger I was missing the valve for a bunch as well, and wished for the option of adding one in.
And past the 250 post mark.
