In the forums here I have read several intances where people stack one wing on top of another for safey reasons, or as a back up in case of one's wing fails for one reason or another. Could I talk someone into explaining the correct way to set this up. I realize one is stacked upon the other, but seems that the corigated hose and supply hose would be stacked on top of one another and make for a congested mess.
Thanks

When you stack wings, you put one inflator hose over the left shoulder (primary inflation) and one over your right shoulder. The hose over your right shoulder is not hooked up to an inflator, and if your primary should fail you inflate orally. This was generally done before the days of dual wings, but could still be used. Prepare for the flames from the if you need redundant bouyancy you should diving a drysuit.

Thanks for the replies, I am ordering a double bladder wing this Friday, which will be for the doubles I am setting up. Since I had read many times here about people setting up their rig with double wings, I was simply curious how people went about doing it.
Thanks
