Yet another BP/W thread: compatibility across brands, etc.

[lemon lime]

I'm new to BP/W and I'd like to know if the DiveRite Transpac will work with an Oxycheq Mach 5 or Razor wing. I ask because I found a good deal for a Transpac/Travel Wing combo, but I really like the compactness of the 16# Oxycheq wings. I use 4# of weights with a jacket bc and 3mm wetsuit in warm weather and I'm thinking that the Travel wing is more lift than I need.

I'd also appreciate any feedback on the comparative performance of the two wings.

Basically, should I go mix and match, all DiveRite, or all Oxycheq?

The Oxycheq wing will work (and I have two Oxycheq wings) but the travel wing while supporting larger lift does not flop around much even when empty.

How much lift is a Travel wing? I use a DSS LCD 30 in the tropics, and it's a bit more than I need, but I don't have any problems with it. You're using so little gas for compensation with Al80s and a thin wetsuit, anyway.

If you're going to use an Oxy wing, with a cam band slots at around 2'' to 3" with a Transpak that has it's cam band slots at about 6" or 7" you'll need to use an STA.

The Travel Wing is 30+#, and the Travel Wing 360 is 40+#. I'm not sure which of the two comes with the combo.
