I had the super wing and transpac harness, loved it before i sold it. Plenty of lift and comfortable.

I had the first set of RECWINGS in the country!
Dump valves are slightly different.
Used it with single cylinder/Twins +/- sidemounts and even on my Dolphin and YBOD.
Really liked it, especially the adjustable bungie, good build quality, over 13 years old and still going strong.

I had a Rec wing from them for a while, not bad build quality but found the rear dump tricky to get hold of when the bungie was pulled in for a single tank.

Got a Rec Wing. Used it with a Trans-pac for single Ally, Single 300 bar Steel + Pony and now twin 232's - rock solid and worth a look-see for on fleabay.

I have a Rec Wing with a SS backplate and Dive Rite harness. Perfectly happy with it. Prefer the harness and BP to the Transpac I used to have, but I know others who love the Transpac. Also have a Travel Wing which is great.

Edit - dive my Rec Wing with twin 12s but have used it for singles abroad too.

I use the single bladder classic with twin 232's and a stage and it is enough lift easilly. My buddy uses the Rec with the same config and has no issues. They are comfy and have great build quality and I have had no issues with mine at all.
I went for the classic over the rec as it is larger and (psychologically) puts me in a better comfort zone when bobbing around in the salty stuff. As always just a personal preference but now that I have moved to this particular wing it would take a lot to make me use anything else.

I have just weighed my Rec Wing and its about 3.5 kgs. This is using my kitchen scales with the wing balanced on top of a chopping board so it is an approximate measure.
