Mountain High oxygen systems

Exactly, and flights in a glider above 18k are very rare, to put it
optimistically :-)

I've been using the EDS for years now, and it's just the way to go. It's
fairly expensive, but it's worth it. A couple of years ago, I had a unit
fail completely and it was replaced by MH without any hassle - lifetime
warranty.

However, depending on the mounting and storage of the unit, the main switch
sucks a bit because it is not well protected against accidental switching on
(EDS1, that is). With the unit running in the storage bag, battery life is
limited and having a spare battery in the glider is a very good idea.

Just so I'm not accused of being a MH schill, I agree with the two
downsides that have been mentioned: higher initial cost and only legal
to 18k.

I'm repeating myself, but: Believe it or not, there's actually life
outside the USA! The original poster posted with an *.ch address. If
he's really living in Switzerland, as this address implies, then there's
absolutely no legal concern. There are *no* regulations for oxygen use
by private pilots here.

Do you have the plastic switch protector plate that mounts over the
switches, recessing them enough to make accidental switching much less
likely? It's a big help on my unit.

The new ones have a much better arrangement than the version Eric is using.

Time to upgrade Eric

And they have other worthwhile features, including more warnings, and a
smaller size, which would fit better in my glider, but I'm too cheap.
Gotta save my money for the aerotows JJ is going to make me take!

Yep, but this plate is fixed by elastics and that's not really reliable.
