Belgium, not as far as America but still quite far..

 

I am looking to see how people are using them, and what are they like compared to the Hollis SMS100, the Dive Rite Nomad, and the Razor 2 system?  I know the Z Trim has a lower lift volume but as long as you get your trim right I don't think that should matter. Would have hoped to find some one in the Uk.. to Demo, or even give it a try.

We r just neighbours...  Once you r a UTD guy, the world gets a lot smaller ;-)

 

It matters a lot when you r not only caring bout the trim.  We strongly believe the Z-stuff fits better in our way of diving.  Anyways, you r always very welcome to give it a try. 

Please feel free to ask us anything you want to know.

Can't comment about those other systems, but I dove with a Z Trim with a drysuit on open water dives this spring without any problem. Did use ditchable weight, however, as I need a good 10 Kg for my drysuit and that's more than the Z can handle should the suit fail. I've been trying the Delta on the Z harness the past two weeks and apart from the extra lift have only noticed small differences so far: the lift *might* be a bit higher on my back and the dump valve is easier to find.

Hope to try and find one in the UK possibly, I am doing a Trial Sidemount using the Razor and its very nice, but the reason I am interested in the Z trim is because I already have A Hollis Switchback Harness which I do like.
