the alloy used is different--and presumably better--than
the commercial ones made by 'halcyon' and 'dive
rite' (at least that was the case w/the 1st run 6 months ago).
i don't remember the exact alloy #, but i'm sure
fredt would be happy to oblige.
as for the deeper 'V' shape, i actually went
and had the plate flattened out a bit b/c it
was quite uncomfy on my back (especially walking
around w/the rig out of water). i think
reshaping the plate and making that 'V' shallower
(and allowing the tank to sit closer on my back) actually helped.
however, it IS!! a nice plate that he designed,
isn't it??
