"They"?chrpai:I seem to remember one time in Croatia where they almost did kill a diver. I'm not sure if he was wearing OMS gear or not though.
Who... the UN? LOL

bmuise:I just bought a used halcyon plate & harness. Looks like I'll be "doing it right" by finishing it off with an Oxycheq wing...
Legally, yes. However the court of public opinion has it's own rules...MikeS:Isnt it customary to have the hanging after the trial?
MikeS:Wait, let me get this straight; rather than buying the best wing for your application, youre going to buy something less because you read about a lawsuit(s) on the Internet? That sounds smart! Isnt it customary to have the hanging after the trial?
ElectricZombie:Interesting. I think weight pockets and trim weights have been around long before Halcyon started making them.
However, Halcyon certainly does have a legitimate complaint against OMS. The new OMS wing looks like an exact copy of the Pioneer. I'm not familiar with OxyCheq products so, I don't know if they are really copying Halcycon gear or not. I have seen a few pictures of their wings online, and the single tank wings do look similiar to the Pioneer.
I dont' see any need to boycott Halcyon as we don't know enough details concerning the suit. For all we know, their claim may be justified.
Regardless, I'll keep buying their products until something better is made.

caveseeker7:Companies served:
Products sold at EE:
Aqualung/Apeks/Suunto, Brownies Third Lung; DUI International, Halcyon, Mares, Scubapro/Uwatec
Products sold by Brownies Southport Divers:
Halcyon; DUI International, Mares, Scubapro/Uwatec
Guess they both realize empty store shelves aren't good and Halcyon/Brownies alone ain't gonna cut it.
warren_l:After doing research for the wing that I've recently ordered, the Oxycheq was the best for me. Forget Halcyon.....
