WTB: Full sidemount setup and some reels

**sontek** · 07-16-2011 12:24 AM

I'm looking to pick up a full sidemount setup.

Looking at the Nomad XT but will listen to other recommendations.

Need 2 DIN regulators

A few reels, would like 1 sidewinder type and 1 classic handle.

Thought of calling a shop?

With the current trend going to sidemount, I don't think you'll find someone selling a full setup...

what size? I have a modified Transpac, oceanic delta regs (DIN), reels (side and handle), and steel tanks (with cam bands). It fits medium/large. $450.00 for the harness/wing, regs, and reels. steel tanks? depends, but roughly 150 each.

I'm 5'10, 165 so medium/large.. Could I use your transpac for single backmount and sidemount?

I am 5'8", 170 lbs.... so close enough! It could be single or double backmounted. has slots for cam bands and holes for bolts. I can furnish older steel faber 98's (white scubapro) with 11/08 hyrdo (150 each) or pst 119's with 6/10 hydro ($200 each) and I'll add the cam bands to whichever, no additional charge.

Sontek I think it would work but it might be a tad small for proper d-ring positioning. Im 6ft 190 and in an x-large. That's a good buy and the only difference in sizes is the shoulder pads and you can get different sizes for 50 bucks. That's what I had to do to mine so I would go for it.

That's a great buy. You can always sell the transpac

Skip, $450 for SM rig, regs, and reels? Did you bump your head in the cave last weekend?

I've attached pictures below. In getting the gear ready I noticed that I was wrong about the spg's. they are on long hoses, not 6-inch. I tucked them in tank bands (this was one of my first try-it-out sidemount rigs). I also noticed that the transpac did not have a crotch strap, so I'm including one (see pic). two reels as pictured. I found an extra set of shoulder straps, XL, and thought I'd toss those in too. In case you dive cold and wear fluffy undies, the larger straps will come in handy, or later if you decide to sell to someone larger than medium/large. If any of this is not as expected or you have changed your mind, let me know.
