DSS 26LB Torus Review

[tstonedvr]

I dove the new 26lb Torus donut wing this past weekend. We dove the Empire Mica with Killfish charters (a great op). Perfect conditions,flat seas,blue skies, the calm before the storm....Used a DSS SS bp, the wing and a 5 mil wetsuit with a steel 112cf tank with H valves. Dove the first dive with this rig, it took some getting used to the short inflator hose, I had it bungied to my left dring and it would dump fine from there. On the second dive I carried a Al 40 also and it worked very well, the balance was great and the lift was more than enough. I don't use much air in a wing and I had little to none in it at 20ft even with the AL 40 so YMMV. On Sunday we hit the cave at Vortex for a gear wash. I filled the wing full and it was very stable and held me out of the water well with the 112. The lower dump worked as needed and air trapping was very minimal. Overall I am very pleased with the wing and I love the low profile and low drag. Kudos to Tobin.....

i agree. i have about 8 or 10 dives on the torus 35 wing with ss bp and i love it. took some getting used to for me too with the short inflator and all around pretty much, but now i love it. if i lost it, i would replace with the same one.

Thanks for the reviews. I have a Torus 45 that hasn't gotten wet yet, and looks like it won't for a few weeks yet unfortunately. Good to hear things about their wings though. I have high hopes.

I love the new Torus singles wing ... been diving the 35 and sharing it with other local divers. The Eclipse and Signature wings have a serious competitor here ... and Tobin's got a winner ...

Life's good!

Remember when the H Pioneer was the only choice for the discriminating buyer?

Tobin and Al showed me the 26# Torus at a ScubaBoard event last month. I didn't dive it but it sure looks great... like all their products. Certainly a wing I will consider strongly when I need to replace my aging Trav-Tek.

Just got my Torus #26 with stainless steel backplate and hog harness today! I'm working on rigging it up. This is my first BC I've bought as I have only been diving since December and I am very excited to get out to a quarry and dive in disgusting water with little or no visibility I'll let you know a newbie's point of view on the wing. I'm sure I will love it just as much if not more.

From what I have seen of both wings, Torus is competing with Oxycheq's Mach V, rather than the Sig.

Perhaps ... in this case, I'm comparing it to other wings I own and dive ...
