Deep six, new wing has some nice features

[LandonL]

It does look similar so now Landon can let us know if it would work as a replacement

These are injection molded parts... so they are either the same, or they are not, and these obviously are not.

Is the dump valve also a custom threading?

All dump valves have their own threading, and as these are recessed/low profile valves they are a bit more unique.

@LandonL , I don't see it on the website yet, is this just the standard stability wing or will there be a new entry?

Also I see the bottom dump valve for this one is on the left and the others (stability wing) on the website is on the right. Will this be coming with a LHS dump valve?

@Seameadow This is the new standard stability wing, low profile fittings, left handed dump valve. Images will need to be swapped out eventually.

This looks very, very similar to my Apeks WTX-F30 PSD. I wonder if they're made by the same factory. Inflator and dump valves look different, but the cut and material look very similar.

Can this wing be used with an STA or does it require direct threading onto a backplate via the tank bands?

ADDITION: reading the website I answered my own question. Looks like it can also be used with an STA.

I’ve wanted a right rear dump wing for quite some time. I have issues with left rear dump due to shoulder counter rotation issues from a past shoulder injury.

Is the right rear pull dump standard or would I need to request that? Looking at the photos on the website, it appears that it is standard for the pull dump to be on the right.

I’m intrigued

@lexvil, @LandonL, is it tear resistant similar to the Apeks WTX-D PSD wing? And the orange part is the same material, right?

I can’t say as far as comparison to the Apeks, don’t see those around here, the orange parts appear to be the same material.

material look very similar.

Our quick dry wings came out back in 2015-ish back with our original 20 and 30lb models. The WTX quick dry wings came out not long after ours.

Similar to how prevalent orange is in their products line up after we started using it.... lol

If you can find one of the prior production run wings, it would be great for you then. You need one of the 2023 - early 2024 production units, without low profile fittings.

Quoted above, but to be very very specific - the ONLY version in production now has a LEFT dump. Changing this is not an option.

The orange is cordura fabric. The rest of the shell is our quick-dry tear resistant material.

Thanks Landon for the details. This looks like a very nice and well thought out 30# wing. Thanks for sharing the details.

Bummer ... and thank you for the clarity!!
