Question about a 13 year old Halcyon wing -

[O-ring]

Agree with the others...should be good to go. I have replaced the inflators on mine a couple times, but my wings are much older than yours and still kicking.

Both power inflator and the spring in the dump valve had issue/recall yrs ago.
The power inflator appears not to be the one with the problem but should consider change the spring of the dump valve.
Contact H for advice.

It all comes down if they are maintained properly. Halcyon uses top quality material, so as long as you wash it, don't leave it out in the sun, it will last forever. If you do leave it out of the sun and never rinse off the salt, then yeah, it is going to fall apart. But that's true of all wings/BCDs.

Halcyon Dive Systems

Halcyon began as a group of divers who knew exactly what they wanted, but could not find it in any dive store. Our passion for diving led us to designing wings and lights to satisfy ourselves.

Is this for sale?

From my experience the wings with the red DIR logo fray along the bottom egde. Mine frayed badly and was replaced under warranty. Wing was 10 years old when replaced but in pristine condition, never abused and washed religiously
It was great service from Halcyon and they make great gear!
Yours may differ though as it appears to be sewed differently along the seams.

My beloved wing has a tear along the bottom seam, does any one think a canvas sewer/sail maker/upholsterer could repair it?

Same happened to me... outer bag also replaced under warranty.

Wow, those are some "old school" wings!! That singles wing I think is the second one they ever made......

Yep, still going strong. I just did a bunch of dives on it in Socorro earlier this year. IMHO, the "DOING IT RIGHT" on the logo is what makes them so much tougher than the current crop of wings.

I have a Halcyon Pioneer 30lb Wing – brand new, never used [...] purchased in 2009. So the question - is the wing still good after 13 years?

Hard to know as I am not an expert on materials science. My wing is 11½ years old and frequently used. No problems, not for now, but it is only 11½ years of age.
