Right now I have an Oxycheq wing with 50lbs of lift and I am looking to get into tech diving with deco. Is this sufficient or should I be looking more towards 100lbs to compensate for added tanks and gear?

I have an Halcyon 55lb wing and I have carried 2 Al80's with my steel 104's and had enough lift. (I also dive dry). A 50lb wing should be an excellent choice to start your tech training.The Natural:

Great thanks for the info! I'll be diving dry as well. Just took my drysuit class, let me say I never want to dive wet again!
I have a 55lb wing and in doing similar research and confirming with my instructor, 100lbs is often thought of as excessive. Also I dislike banded wings (seen too many issues with trapped air) so I can't imagine an unbanded wing with 100lbs of lift - lots of excessive material!!
