I'm considering getting halcyon 18# wings for warm water, and I have never seen them in person. The smallest wing I am familiar with is the dive rite travel wing. I'm thinking that (sizewise, if nothing else) it's a close comparison. The travel wings are smaller than the halcyon 27 wing. (it is, after all, a 30# bladder with compression material on it). I am not sure how it compares to the 18, though.
Can anybody out there help me compare the 18 to the 27 or the dive rite travel wings? maybe with measurements or pix, if you have more than one set of wings around?
to me, being streamlined in warm water is a lot of fun, but I'm having a hard time justifying the 18# wing vs. the travel wing, if they are about the same size, considering that the travel wing will lift 30# in addition to being small. It's also a full circle bladder, I don't think the 18# halcyon is.
any advice?
thanks.
