Question on Xdeep Stealth 2.0 Tec versions

[bossthanapol]

Hello, I am looking forward to buying Xdeep Stealth 2.0 Tec but from what I've seen in various videos on youtube, there seem to be 2 versions of the wing. The first one is the one that has the Xdeep logo with the yellow X (left) and the other one which is less common is the one that has a big white X in the middle of the back (right). I wanted to know their difference and where to get the one with the big white X. Thank you so much!

In addition, I am also deciding between Xdeep 2.0 Tec and Hollis K2. I tried Xdeep 2.0 Tec before and it is comfortable. However, the Hollis K2 seems interesting since the price is lower in the US and the added shoulder dump might be useful in some situations. I also don't know if H-harness is going to be as comfortable as Y-harness or not. Your advice is appreciated!

FYI: I'm going to dive wetsuit, usually with an Al tank, but also wanted to keep steel as an option too.

They’re exactly the same except the logo. I think the big X is special order only, and Xdeep only makes them for dive shops.

I didn’t try the k2. But I dive an xdeep tec and it’s amazing and quite flexible for setup. I dive steel tanks, and usual cold water and it’s great for what I use. I find it quite flexible for most of the dives, and there are a lot of people diving them with aluminum tanks.

They might be special order only but it is not true that they only make them for dive shops. My custom Xdeep has the white X on it and I am not a dive center.

My apologies. I should say they usually make it for dive shops and instructors.

I love my K2. Easy to adjust, fits great, stay super flat when inflated.

thanks! did you ordered via dive shops or directly with the manufacturer? I've looked in the Xdeep website but didn't see custom page

There is the configurator and then you give the reference number to your dealer.

thanks for your comment! Have you tried and compared it with Xdeep 2.0? I wanted to know the difference. Also, did you find the shoulder dump useful?
