It's an older model that DR doesn't sell anymore.
I have this wing on a Freedom plate. Great wing, nice tight profile. My only issue, and it is a minor one, is the wing length. I have hp100s and hp80s. When i dive it on the HP80 tanks the wing is long enough that when in the right position the tank cant stand with the wing inflated inflated, and I don't really like how it bends over when empty (pinch risk). Other than that great wing.
Before I don it I check it inflate, etc. I leave it partially inflated so that 1) it doesn't fold and pinch and 2) I am entering the water with air in my wing. On a boat with a HP80 in the holder this wing wants to fold up at the bottom. This wing runs the risk of getting pinched so in that scenario I put it all together leave it uninflated then don just being careful not to pinch it. when I am diving off a dock or shore, donning form a sitting position or from a picnic table it is just easier if it is standing. Just wanted to point out that if you are dealing with a short tank the wing is fairly long and you need to be aware of the risk of pinching it.why would your tank need to be standing with the wing inflated?

Fair enough, doesn’t mean it can’t be made by Dive Rite. The DGX Deep6 regs are not in Deep6’s product line, yet they are made by Deep6 for DGX.Have no clue who makes it for DGX, and never insinuated that I did...but the wing in question bears no resemblance to any product in Dive Rite's product line.

It’s a rebranded Dive Rite.
