I may be a bit ‘difficult’ but I am looking for some pictures. BCD? ( I am constantly learning new ‘vintage SCUBA’ things.

A BCD (or BC if you're an old fart like me) is a standalone device that attaches to a tank and provides buoyancy compensation.

A wing is a device that is used in conjunction with a backplate to provide the same basic function, except that a backplate needs an adapter to attach a single tank because it's designed to be used with double tanks (aka a twinset).

What's being advertised is a big honkin' wing, not a BC/BCD.

I'll make some popcorn for the bungee discussion that will inevitably ensue. (Yes, I have an opinion.) The "bungees" are actually silicon tubing used to retract the wing as it deflates. They stretch to allow it to inflate.

Both BC(D)s and wings are current, not "vintage," technology. Vintage would be a mouth-inflated horse collar type BC.

Hey thanks rfwoodvt. That gives me an idea of what I am looking at. I have seen these before and some other SB input said they were for a double tank setup. …interesting..
I know of a few of my on-line friends who ‘do’ vintage doubles and triples. I will pass it along to them if copacetic with you.

Hi possibly interested in the 94lb triste wing. Do you if this is 2016 or newer?

Used to love those OMS things, with the bands taught and the wing all scrunched up

reminds me of the haversack knapsack, with the roll over the top and down the sides

Since you've already made the popcorn... REAL VINTAGE DIVERS DIVE WITHOUT A WING OF ANY KIND THE ONLY PURE AND TRUE VINTAGE SETUP IS WINGLESS AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES SIMPLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WEIGHT THEMSELVES PROPERLY AND IS USING THE WING AS A CRUTCH.
