SCUBAPRO REC -TEC WING - Advise Wanted
Hi All

Can anyone give me any advise on the Scubapro Rect-Tec Wing, although I know Scubapro itself is normally very reliable I'm just not sure about buying a wing, looks like its in perfect condition but I have never read any reviews anywhere??

Any advise?

Cheers

Is it the one on eBay ?

Looking at the Scubapro site it isn't a current model so I have no idea what it should look like. The one on eBay looks like a big wing - too big for singles and someone has stuck on a BP and harness. But I could be wrong.

Yeah its the one on ebay, looks in good condition in the picture but your right it does look big & it has been modified. Im quite small as well but they are fully adjustable....

The link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280217694051

You are right the harness is fully adjustable, however an old thread on Scubashop says it is about 55lb, so it is big.

Are you working to a budget.

God, that's way too big...

Well .....Im actually trying to sell my poseidon besea W40 wing, and wanted to get a new one so just looken around at the mo. I'd luv a halcyon wing but their too expensive for my budget. I'm hoping to get about £300 for my besea so anything below that should be ok..

If you could get the one on Ebay for less than £100 you could flog the wing back on eBay and buy a Frog Indigo single wing for about £120 - £130 so you would get a single setup for less than £250

Actually scrap the above are you looking for an Ali backplate or a stainless one, alternatively buy a backplate and harness and a single Frog wing.

Hmmm now theres an idea, Ill keep a watch on it and see if I can get it. To be honest there are a lot of bids on it so I should think it'll go over that mark but definately worth a try.

Funny I was looken at Frog wings earlier, there pretty much the same as halcyon right? I've heard mixed reviews on them, some people say there great others dont like....what do you think?

My mate Brett at Divelife has the Indigo single setup for under £300

There is lots of stuff on here about the Frog v Halcyon, but if budget is a deciding factor I would go for the Frog over the Scubapro on eBay.
