New 32# wing?

[Aqua-Andy]

I was wondering what the difference between the old and new 32# wings is if any besides color. It would be great if the center panel was narrower so the overall profile is more inline with the Oxycheq MKV, Which I refuse to purchase due to an issue I had with a warranty concern on a previous product.

I emailed Chris a few days ago & was wondering the same thing, have not heard back as of yet. Would be nice to know what upgrades have been made if any. The lp inflator hose looks longer from the pic ive seen on DRIS..

The picture I can see on DRIS looks like the 23# wing, not the 32# wing. I think i've read in various threads about some of the features of it.

Post up a pic! I wasn't a big fan of the original Ho2 32 due to it's size. Would be interested in seeing the improvements

The new wing has the same power inflator as my old wing (I think), I was a little disappointed with the new corrugated hose and LP inflator hose I like the shorter versions better. Where the old LP hose was just a little too long the new one is way too long. I did notice they got rid of the reinforcing strap that the corrugated goes through on the old wing. I would like to have seen a narrower profile though as I think the center panel is wider than it has to be. Overall the construction seams very good but I guess you can't please everyone. I would like to hear from Chris why the center panel is so wide, was it due to cost, he feels it is a better design, fells it vents better? Not a criticism just curious.

which center panel? Not due to cost, mt new wings cost more to produce. the new corrugated hose I have more complaints it is too short than too long... interesting isn't it?

You must have the very first generation HOG 32, it's been produced in 3 locations now.

The inflator on the first and the 3 HOG 32 are the same.
