WTB: MRS wing and sidemount harness

I'm looking for a minimalist rig for sidemounting al80s and before buying the components retail or taking the diy approach I'm seeing if anyone has the kit in their spare gear bag they'd part with used.

WTB:
6-10l Dromedary w/ OPV valve, inflator
Harness plates, d rings and webbing

Or

Pretty much any compact and inexpensive sm wing system. Just enough (sub 20lbs lift) for a couple al80s when I'm south in a 3mil and won't cost a fortune if it gets lost/stolen/damaged in my travels.


Cheers!
Cameron

P.s. At this stage I'm a vacuum for used gear so if you have spare reels, regs, spgs, trim pouches or hardware at the same time I'd be receptive.

I have a used Xdeep stealth 2.0 that I would like to go for $300 US (negotiable) if you're interested. By the time you make your own (and ice done that as well), it's an easy $300.

PM or email me at glenn.sawyer@me.com.

Next time I'll proof read...

*and I've done...

That's certainly an ideal rig! Unfortunately out of my budget for travel gear. Thanks for the offer! And 1400km away we are practically neighbors!

True enough fellow Canuck... You can use my snowblower anytime you need it.

Glenn, you are changing rigs again!?

I like this rig. It has enough lift for sm80s. I bungie tied the bladder across the lower back and it doesn't balloon up.

It is decent for mexico diving. I didnt use any weight w/ AL80s and 5MM wetsuit or drysuit with only base layer. Bit negatives w/ 1 stage. Didnt attempt 2 stages.

I looped my bungees thru the eyelets at the top to reduce ballooning in mid-torso. The bag needs a better shape as it does balloon quite a bit when negative (aka when bladder full)

That's the exact rig! is the build quality good or would it need handled with care. Just had a week in tulum with my armadillo rig but it is overkill for traveling with so next time I sneak south I'd like the something along that line.

Any pics of the bungee hookup you've got worked out. Also, might a second stage be ok with a 3mil with the #22 if I loosened it up for a better fill? Just to to explore my possibilities.

My dive buddy wants one too now! So hopefully we can close a deal on two rigs. I'm PMing two offers currently.

Thanks for the rousing replies as a new forum member. I appreciate the help!

Hey Pat... Hope you're doing well Sir! Yup, a friend down in MX made me a deal on a new Apeks that I couldn't pass up so I am now selling my XDeep 2.0 Stealth. The rig is fine however the "new" of the Apeks for the price was simply too good to turn down.

Want a Stealth?? :)

Someone DID snatch that up - pending payment but it's sold; it wasn't even truly "listed" either. I love this forum!!

Follow up thanks.

120 hours underwater later I'm loving the MSR bladder solution. Perfect with al80s and one stage.

So thank you!

Hi,

I noticed you're in Hamilton. We're neighbours =) I'm in Mississauga.
I saw you post about the DECO rig and I have been interested in buying the same rig for diving tropical or summer here in the GTA.

Just want to quickly ask your feedback on it as I can't find a lot of reviews about it.
How do you mount the wing? bungee like the stealth 2.0 classic?

thanks

The wing can be mounted the same as the stealth 2.0 classic. It works just fine. I've dived this rig for quite some time. It's pretty high quality, and it's small.

The harness is straighforward. It's webbing and hardware. It works great.

I have an MSR wing that you can have. PM me an offer if interested.
