Comparing the DTD and SG websites, I can see that SG (wing, back pad, trim pockets, etc) are all re-branded DTD products. Geez, even the pics of divers in action are the same. As mentioned earlier, for whatever reason, SG added the bungees to the wing. Maybe they moved the inflator hose, as @berndo suggested, off to one side for SG as well.

Waiting to see what Simon ends up with.
Quick question- in the European store how do we convert the “17” wing size to North American? Is 17 kilograms and that is 34 pounds?

It's liters of capacity. But yeah, 1 liter is about 1 kg of lift. 17 kg are about 37.5 lbs
37, 2.2 lbs per kilo
I have a like new demo HOG 32lb. My own that I used maybe three times in fresh water before I started diving SM exclusively. Don't know what shipping would be but I'll take 200 for it.

This from DTD:
"The inflator hole is not centered, it is on the left side."
We could have a winner.

And blue.
Despite blue but an orange stripe one shipped to me would be tested vigerously for you while you split oak.

Stay tuned to see what will Simon do?
Will he go for the DTD wing or the Apeks? Or will he be seduced by the heavier shell of the DIR Zone? Will he go on a walk about until Patrick handcrafts another Oxycheq Extreme wing? Will he go to the outback to hunt kangaroo with a MK-7 and teach the natives regulator repair? Will Lex ever get over his orange stripe fetish?
These and other questions will be answered in the next installment of "Looking for a new wing".
