Prior to making a decsion, ask yourself these questions ...
Is the wing a 360 loop? All wings other than our 50# wing is a 360 loop.
If it is a 360 loop wing, do you have access to the bladder for inspection and/or repair? All OxyCheq wings (except the 30# Razor, a bladderless wing) has a zipper that allows you complete access to the bladder.
How thick is the inner bladder? OxyCheq has clear, 25 mil urethane bladders. It is clear so you can see if you have salt crystals of crud growing inside the bladder. Thiker urethane bladders result in higher ouncture and abrasion resistance.
Is the elbow off centered on the single cylinder wing? On single wings, our elbows are off centered so it does not interfere with the cylinder valve. On doubles, the elbow is centered (off centered on dual bladder/dual inflator).
How much urethane is under the outer shell? OxyCheq uses 5 ounces of urethane under the outer shell. Thicker urethane coating results in higher puncture resistance.
How wide is the separation between lobes? The lobes are 2" apart.
How wide is the wing? The OxyCheq 30# Mach V is 13.5" at the widest point when inflated resulting in very low drag.
Where are the materials made? OxyCheq wings are made from materials made in the USA. There are differences in materials made in the US vs outside the US.
Do I need a single tank adapter with the wing? No, all OxyCheq single cylinder wings have cam band slots and roll control. However, if desired, you can use a variety of single tank adapters.
All of our dealers are listed on our web site. I am sure someone on the list can recommend one of the dealers that will give you a great price.
