    Default Hollis sms 100 for sale

    About 10 dives on it I guess. I keep buying new SM rigs and trying them out, but so far prefer my homemade harness and the classic wing with sewn tabs. so this one is for sale. it's practically new, have not cut any straps (and they are plenty long). SM is the size but I think that means "small-medium." I'm 5'7" 175 lbs, fits fine over my dui tls 350. It can go bigger around, a taller, but not so sure about getting too much shorter or thinner.

    My favorite thing is the stability fore and aft. excellent. 360 wing wider at bottom with bungee's. No pictures, but it looks exactly like any one of them being advertized. Like new.

    how much? hmmm. $400.00 USD, with two tank cam bands for sidemount tanks (I've never used them at all - I use ss bands on my tanks). buyer pays shipping, paypal preferred, but whatever.

    Hi Skip,
    I thought you already sold that harness? What's the lift rating; just wondering. If I'm down in the Boro next week, I'll give you a warning shot.

    Hi Mark,

    52 lbs. lift. http://www.hollisgear.com/prodview.asp?id=121 . I have been diving mine for a year now, app. 200 dives, and love it. I have L-XL size, but I believe the Sm-Med would work for you; it is the size my wife has, and she is slender like you (and Skip).

    If Skip had tried it for more than 10 dives I'll bet he wouldn't be selling it, though I've seen his home-made rig and there is not a thing wrong with it, either.

    I dove Skip's SMS 100 once, and it works quite well.

    I'm 5'7 and 210 and wear a small/medium and I cut off ALOT of extra webbing. So there is no shortage of webbing to work with for larger people

    Sure is. Have only carried 3 stages with it so far, but that went very well.

    Nope. One of my local buddies bought it and loves it. Move along, nothing to see here.
