	What do you think of diving vintage equipment, such as double hose regulators, horse collar BCDs, plastic backbacks or plateless harnesses, small LP steel cylinders, etc.? How about modern "vintage style" equipment like the Argonaut Kraken, brand new horse collar from Seatec or Aquatec, modern BP/wing, big HP steel or AL tank, etc.? Do you dive any of these sometimes? Exclusively? Do you have any other "intermediate vintage" gear you prefer, like Poseidon Jetstream or USD Conshelf single hose regs? How about 1980s or 90s gear? that’s getting near to vintage status as well, since gear contiues to evolve. vintagedoublehose.com/store/#!/Argonaut/c/8222661/offset=0&sort=normal worthpoint.com/worthopedia/seatec-military-horse...r-bc-units-132561616 ebay.ca/itm/AQUATEC-Horse-Collar-2-Bladder-BCD-B...Diving-/262146207000
