LOL... same as ever.
The BA is not sewn to a harness. It is the harness. You get out of both at the same time, they are one thing. If you ask me the 'fashion' for wearing a rash vest over everything is the design brief designed to kill someone. Try getting your rash vest off underwater to then get out of your harness next time you are upside down in your 18.

If you get seriously trapped you want to be able to get out of the harness easily, having it permanently sewn to something that is keeping it pinned to you whilst underwater is an accident waiting to happen
The only conclusion being jumped to was that i didn't look at the details and form an opinion on the evidence as presented to me

Just think about it for a bit. 18's don't allow BA's. Why? So they can get out of a harness if entrapped (swim down and out). Why do people wear a rash vest over a BA? Because the thing rides up and chokes you, and you float to low without one. Plus its an attempt to be less snaggy in the first place. Put that together on a trap boat and you 'can' have an issue, if you go with the 18's thinking. So this looks like it will be more comfortable and actually safer. Especially with a quick release hook.

No Matt - if you read it rather than jumping to conclusions it is to make it easier to get out of your gear if entrapped.

Hi Phil Thanks I have bought a Rooster after trying it on. I did look at the Wing but the padding seemed to start in the same place. Seems none of you are old enough to remember Flobochock (don't know about the spelling) the original air capsule buoyancy

Did you not get one of the Spinlock Wing Phantom edition PDF? If you want to wait until the Nationals there maybe an alternative that will save you a few £ just need to double check the size left |

Looks quite good. I'm surprised it's not been done before

sort of on topic? Anyone seen one of these in the flesh? Looks interesting, and certainly claims to sort a few of the issues with harnesses and BA's.

I very much doubt the Dakine 'complies' with dinghy sailing regs, which is precisely why I wear it. ;-) I do wear a helmet if the conditions look like they'll be 'interesting' I get the piss taken regularly for it, there I was last time in that 200 with the youngster wearing no head protection it's blowing 25knots and they're taking the piss out of me? It ended up being the best decision I made getting clouted by the boom in an unfamiliar boat and still retaining my consciousness to assist her. You take these decisions according to your own experiences so I wear it kitesurfing and windy dinghy sailing but never windsurfing, I don't, wont, wear a helmet snowboard or skiing but will on a bike off roading, in fact would probably if I ever went roadie.
