@LandonL, is this something that my LDS could carry? I know you've said that you have a hybrid retail structure and Seal's Watersports is looking to get something in that works with my Plates.
We should discuss this more because they're also looking to get another reg line in and I hear nothing but good things.
 
@Eric Sedletzky Yes we are one of the easiest brands to work with. We are always happy to onboard new resellers, they just need to reach out to us and see if we can work something out.
 
@lexvil did you get the harness as well or just the wing? Curious if anyone has any insight on it - I’ve been looking into grabbing the package to get started in using a BPW setup.

I already had the webbing and the aluminum plate.
 
Well….I like it!!

First impressions:
Seems very sturdy and well made
The quick dry is a definite plus
Size wise, no noticeable difference compared to my Hollis and Hog 25 wings
Little smaller foot print, circumference of the bladder seems larger/ thicker, all nominal
Shape is a little different, again, nominal*
Sorry, will try to get pics later.

In the water:
I like that the dump valve pull is leashed, no fiddling around trying to find the cord
It is streamlined, my inflator hose stayed close to home
Just can’t speak to less drag, maybe a hunter would notice
While under water, balance is fine
I’m happy and it’s nice, it’s a wing

On the surface - very happy!!
This immediately stood out. All my wings have me pretty vertical at the surface, very used to this. The Deep Six wing canted me toward my back maybe 10-15 degrees. It was so comfy waiting for the boat I almost took a nap! (Steel 100, SS backplate, no lead)

Overall, well made, sturdy, like the quick dry, and oh so comfortable above and below the water. Looks like I need a spanner wrench to remove the valves, not there yet.
 
I just picked up the new deep 6 stability 30 lb wing, no testing yet but I may check capacity in the pool tomorrow and it’s going to Curacao with me next week. Landon mention the low profile elbow he managed to equip it with, I assume it’s proprietary threading etc. but don’t know yet, so far it looks great and the elbow is very low profile, nice water resistant/repellant material, I don’t need 30 lb in warm water but it looks smaller than the rating …

A dive rite travel 25 lb for the comparison
How did you get the low profile elbow? and exhaust valve?
