BP/W setups, can you rent them usually?

[Cichlid]

Are Backplate/Wing setups generally available for rent? I would like to
see if I prefer the BP/W or the BC jackets. I just haven't read about
people renting them.

Ive heard people tell others to rent them before buying, but I have yet to find any for rent...

I've never been to a shop that rents out BP/W setups, then again some places have more rentals than whats sitting right in your face. The closest thing I've seen to a BP/W at a dive shop is a back inflate jacket.

Tell you what... We'll get one together at Scubatoys for rent... Just give us a few days to have Woody put together a setup.

So for all the posts I see with some people loving their BP/W setup, did you guys purchase without trying or borrow?

I put one on, but didn't adjust it to fit me at all, I actually hated it. But, with majority of the people I talk to online switching to it, I figured it couldn't be as bad as I thought, so I sold my jacket style BC and bought a BP/W. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Great, now I have to move to TX, no offense.[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

I've never seen them for rent anywhere I go, traditional jacket style is all I've even seen rented out.

not sure about where you live but our local dive shops that have indoor pulls will let you try them out for free if no classes are in session..might try them
