Question Which Wing & Why?
Guys,

Thinking of going for the twinset option in the short-mid future. What I'm after is a wing that will support twin 12s but also be fine for diving with a single 15/single 12.

I like a nice comfy harness and weight integration I like the idea of because I hate wearing big belts.

What d'ya reckon?

Hehe - well they're ALRIGHT I suppose! Personally, I use an OMS with a basic harness and am in love with it. Very comfortable to dive with and much superior trim in the water compared with a BCD. Try a few different models if you can before you buy.

&quot;Cordless wing format offering enhanced dump control, greater streamlining and reduced servicing.&quot;

Not even close - Nothing worthwhile on it that I don't have on my Tekwing, and costs twice as much. (Same as the OMS, really..)

Besides, the backplate looks like it was designed by a Meccano fan.
