One peice webbing. Two inch - soft - crotch strap.

I did add the Oxycheq shoulder pads. Makes the long hikes to some shore dives easier when all Im wearing is a Tshirt.

EDIT -

Any particular info you're looking for?

Eh. No poll at the time. I forget you have to post the topic then create the poll (right?). Shoulda given some time. I was wondering what the deal was as it sounded like the perfect setup for a poll.

Yep, It takes a little time to get it all up.
Thanks for coming back and taking the poll.

I chose "OTHER". I use a deluxe style harness without any quick releases. But it does have a chest strap.

Currently I have a jacket style BC, however I will soon have a Apeks WTX harness. I need the QRs due to my shoulders and I wanted a harness that I can travel with. ALl the postive reviewed of the WTX swayed me to purchase the package (harness, wing & surelock weight system). I will get a backplate eventually for diving in NY waters.

Harness

I dive with the Dive Rite Deluxe with quick release on left side.
I dive it due to a bad shoulder , had it rebuilt 4 years ago and it just isn't as flexible anymore.
I have not needed to do the quick release, but I could if needed.
I tried a hog set up, and had a hard time getting out of rig.

Hog harness. I started off with a DiveRite TransPlate harness on my first bp/w, but after about 6 months I was fed up with the lack of adjustability due to the extra clutter and I realized I never actually used those quick releases. I gave the hog harness a try, got it dialed in with everything exactly where I had been trying to get it with the TransPlate (unsuccessfully) and have never looked back.

Hog harness. I went to the BP/W for simplicity and ease of interchangability. The Hogarthian one piece is just too easy to NOT use.
