Is Oxycheq consider top tier?

[scuba_moron]

Hello,

I'm about to go entirely with an Oxycheq setup - bp/w. How's there quality and durability?

I can only speak for my OxyCheq wing. It is very nice and well constructed and of unique design. I am very pleased with the quality and operation and competive price. N

Echo. I am please with the quality, performance and durability of my Oxycheq wing. Not better than Dive Rite, H, DSS, OMS - just good gear, as those brands also are.

You missed missed Agir Brokk and Golem Gear wings, I think they are every bit as good what Halcyon, DSS, and Oxy are putting out there.
After watching someone's elbow pull out of a brand new OMS wing when he hit the water wearing pumped up 104s in a wetsuit, I can't say the same for them.

Don't disagree. Didn't include Agir because US availability may be an issue and Golem because I have no personal experience with it.

Must have been a fun ride (down). I had the LPI pull off my OxyCheq hose one time in double HP120s, without a DS backup, fortunately, on a test dive with a 20ft bottom. But, I didn't really view that as an OxyCheq quality issue as much as random failure of a ty-wrap (and the need for 2 ty-wraps instead of 1 at all connections).

Hi
I dont have much experience with the other brands (a few dives here and there on OMS, H, diverite wings). However, I have been diving an oxycheq signature series wing for about 2 years (~200 dives) and have been very pleased with both performance and durability. I find it easy to dump air (I almost exclusively use the rear dump),... it still looks like new!

Salvo is the US distributor for Agir Brokk wings

Salvo Diving is at least one US distributor Agir. Salvo is very easy to deal with.

A mighty fine reason for diving dry while wearing steel doubles was demonstrated to all on the boat. We were live boating (no anchor line to climb) over a wreck 55 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico and his buddy was waiting at 20' for him and never saw him drop past (apparently just wasn't facing in the right direction). It could have easily been a real bad situation. The diver failed to use his liftbag as well, I think survival instinct was fully engaged and rational thinking had gone out the window.

I have a Golem rig and am very happy with it. Jakub puts his rig on sale from time to time and he had a great sale a few months ago that pushed me his direction. It is a really well built rig and I love diving it more everytime I hit the water.

It think I would be happy with any of the above too. That is the beauty of a bp/w system. You can mix and match parts. Simplicity is a beautiful thing.
