Tobin,

What is the lightest (dry weight) wing that you stock? If it is the scooter wing, can it be retrofitted with a regular BC K inflator? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

The Super Scooter Wing cannot be used with a back mounted tank.

The lightest single tank, back mount wing is the TTW17.

Keep in mind that all wings will require:

an OPV

a Hose

Inlet elbow

Power inflator

bladder fittings

That means the difference in weight between various wings will less than you might imagine.

Thanks. So is the difference between the TTW and say a Torus 26 negligible then? How much does a TTW weigh? I know they all need the same parts to work properly, but I am trying to see if I can feasibly construct a 2-3 pound travel setup using one of your wings.

The TTW 17 will be a bit lighter because it is one of the two wings we offer that is single layer construction, vs a sewn outer shell with heavy gauge inner bladder.

I'll get you an actual weight tomorrow.

The TTW 17 complete with the inflator hose, but without the LP hose, which will be part of your reg set, is 1.4 lbs.

That makes it easily the lightest weight wing I've come across. Thank you Tobin!
