    My crotch strap (2") gives me a sence of security for giant strides and head down positions. I also use my front crotch d-ring for holding my speargun while dealing with the flopping fish.
    imagine something funny or profound here

    I did a dive today using a Halcyon BP/W and the Hogarthian harness system and didnt even feel the crotch strap at all. Dont even make it a consideration.

    Depends on the exact models you are talking about.

    Generally SS is more negative in the water, which helps to take some weight off your belt.

    Standard thickness AL plates will usually weigh in around 2-3 pounds, and SS plates are typically 6 pounds.

    I'm just using my Hog-rigged BP for single-tank tropical diving at the moment. I agree, though, that a crotch strap is a definite advantage.

    My question - what are the 3 pieces of inner tubing for?

    if you're referring to the inner tubing on the shoulder straps,they're for holding your backup lights snugly against your harness.
