I'm not opposed to winter diving, but I'm not Dry Suit Certified yet, and I can't afford one of those expense sons of guns. Matter of fact, I think I really want to go dive Alaska or something. I can't imagine how cool it would be to dive with some of the cold water Mammals up there.
I went diving a few weeks ago and froze my ass off wearing a 3mil Shorty underneath my 3mil full.
The guys from Tough Country know that people think their rack is too high. Besides me telling them that, several customers have mentioned it.
When they first designed the rack it was designed to go over the factory roof bars. The dip down in the front was meant to cover that gap and provide room for lights.
The problem with lowering the entire rack is that the dip in the front is already within an inch of the roof.
So in order to lower it they would have to remove the dip, well then there is no room for the lights so the only place to expand would be up.
And if you've read even a smidgen of this thread you'd know why they are hesitant to do that.
We will see. I bug them all the time to get that rack lowered, so maybe they will come up with something. Right now they don't have an H2 to design on, so I've offered to leave my H2 with them so they have one to work on.
