Jakub,

Do you have the Golem single wing? If so, please give me some comments on the wing/backplate vs others. This is one of the other wings I am considering. It seems to be great value at $350 for the works, including a knife.

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew,

Yes we do have a Golem35. It is a 35lbs lift wing designed for singles and CCRs.

The Golem wing is the toughest wing you'll find. The outer shell is 2000 denier Cordura, the inner bladder is 650 denier Cordura (that's what others' wing outer shells are made of) PU sealed, RF welded. It is resistant to hydrocabons and hydrolysis. I have several Police and Fire rescue depts buying them.
It is a really streamlined horsehoe, wrapping tightly around single tank. It has really low drag in horizontal position. The inflator has stainless steel parts AND inserts (unlike the infamous Halcyon inflator). There is a dump valve on the bottom left. There are built-in STA rods along the cam-band slots. It also has standard (11" apart) grommet holes for mounting on backplate (I have SS mounting screws avaialble).
I use it on my Meg (mounted to the BP via the grommet holes and to the Meg with hose clamps through the cam-band slots. Rock solid! Perfect trim.
Here are couple of pictures of my setup:

Sorry for the butt-shots, but the pictures are meant to show the ArmadilloCCR kit :D

Let me know if you have any more questions.
 
would you like permesan????

He reads the crap....I get so annoyed with people...THINK FOR YOUR SELF......

Typical fireman/policeman/whatever to criticise inverts and YOU WILL SLAY ME for it.

Off you go chum....inverts are for your job and running about...but not for diving...

Ok, but you didn't put that in your original post.

Did you try the new wing, or just decide to go with the Explorer?
Either way, why do you like the Explorer...or not like the Evolve?

My point was that just repeating nothing more than "I like my Explorer", "I like my Explorer", "I like my Explorer" really isn't adding anything to this thread.
