Eins,
The Faber HP80 which weighs 32.5 full can't have an empty buoyancy of negative 7.2 lbs. Do the math. Should be around neg.1 empty.
I have several Faber LP80's. They're 30 lbs. full, negative 1lb. when empty. They have different weight characteristics from the Faber/OMS LP85's which weigh 31 lbs, neutral when empty.
I've weighed them and tested them empty(300lbs).
