FS: Halcyon MC Storage Pak

Here's the spiel from Holycon's website...

The special "MC Storage Pak" mounts between the diver's back and the
backplate, attached to the backplate on all sides and is used to store and
deploy lift bags and SMBs. It can also be used as a retainer for folded
goody bags. Its a convenient way to store such items out of the way but
access them when needed. Doesn't fit my backplate so it's for sale!

Ok, so how many people can reach a pocket in that position easily?, in full rig??

I know I couldn't, my arms are too short!

You don't have to reach into it, just grab a clipped-off cord that's
attached to the SMB etc, and yank it out. As easy as reaching back for
anything else clipped to a lower corner of your backplate. And I suspect the
pouch adds slightly to the comfort level, too.

Must get around to selling the Halcyon weight pouches though; can't say I
thought much of them - for me they ended up being an expensive way to make
easy weight adjustment before making up an equivalent vee weight.
