single tank wings

[deanmurray]

Other than the halcyon's what other manufacturers make wings specificly designed for single tanks and what do people think of them?

We were just talking about this on Divernet. Dive rite have a couple (Travel and trek). Buddy have a range (travel) and I have one I bought second hand made by Dura Pro (I've never heard of them but it is made in the US and is really nice)

I have the trek wing, but i wouldn't use it for single tanks. I tried it for awhile and its just too bug, I use it for a small set of doubles now.

I have the dive-rite trravel wing. It is perfect for single tank use. Note, that it is for use only on the Transpac 2. The entire system is comfortable and holds the tank securely. It works well without a crotch strap and is much more comfortable than a backplate when used with light or no wetsuit.

You could go with an integrated back inflate bc. Some single tank only choices are the Zeagle Escape and Scout, Dacor Falcon and Seaquest Balance. Northern Diver also makes the x-wing. I have seen pictures of this used with an old style plastic backpack.

Thanks guys. I plan to mate the wing with a aluminium backplate with a single tank adaptor. I like the look of the halcyon but they are very expensive by the time they are imported to Australia.
