BPW questions.

Post by Linedog »

OK so now that I'm an official BPW diver I have a few questions. I've seen the Halcyon cinch system and the much smaller slider system. Do these things work or are they even nesassary? Next, how often do you completely disassemble your BPW for cleaning? Thanks all.

I love my Halcyon cinch(s). If you have any kind of bulky undergarment, shoulder or flexibility issue they come in handy. Necessary? No? Convenience for getting into and out of? Yes.

People disassemble their BPWs? ;)

Ah thanks, I have a few screws in my shoulder and do have a small range of motion issue.

I never disassemble my BP/w it just gets rinsed off thoroughly.

Nice, thanks all. I was wondering if I had to take the whole thing apart every time, glad I don't have to!!

I'll treat it like everything else, a rinse then a soak.
