Apeks WTX Series

[ironworker377]

Has anyone ever seen the WTX Series BC's from Apex. Was at my LDS and it looked like a pretty nice looking rig. Just wondering if any one has seen it or tried one out. Not that bad priced compared to some other rigs out there. Here is their page

these doubles wings are old designs already...

Their smallest wing is still a bit large for single tank warm water diving at 32/34lbs lift.

The construction is pretty solid for a bladderless design.

I dived a WTX doubles wing for about 8 dives or so. Worked fine. Minor points: the inflator hose was a bit long for my liking, and as compared to my Evolve 60 it seemed to trap a bit of air and didn't dump as smoothly.

I have the WTX plate and small wing. Nothing special. I would say the construction is medium duty. The inflator is of excellent quality.

Aqualung has the resources to design and manufacture a superior quality wing. This is not one. I think they just wanted to throw one out on the market quickly. It works just fine, however.

I have the plate and WTX3 wing. I'm liking it. If you end up buying one put plastic sliders behind the plate at the waist strap slots - the slots let the metal ones I had slip right through. Other then that it's a solid rig.

Both my gf and I are diving the Apeks setup. It seems well constructed and we both like it. as stated the inflator is of excellent quality and the bladder seems quite well built

very adjustable and comfortable it seems to be well constructed and I would not trade mine for anything...
