Wouldn't have thought so - inflator hose is too long, and the kidney dump is on the wrong side of the wing.

Reasons it won't be:

It's orange
Not a single piece harness
It's affordable to the masses
There are other reasons, but it's just not.

You're right, change the backplate, change the double crotch straps, change the inflator hose, remove the D rings from the actual wing etc etc and you're laughing

Well, the BP and harness is easy enough, the hose wouldn't be too difficult, but you'd still have the dump in the wrong place... (and one massive great toggle on the pull cord )

To me, ripping apart a unit like that to DIR it is a pointless exercise. There are units out there specific for the task, unfortunately the cost a bit, but you pays your money and takes your choice. Sell it and keep your eyes peeled on ebay

I'm hanging on to my spare 40lb Explorer so that tootricky doesn't have to do DIRF in his TekWing. Not sure yet if he's planning on taking it with him, would be interesting to see the look on Rich and Andy's faces

The kidney dump is on the left and it's black.

Nope, the kidney dump is in the same place as the Travel and Tek wings - on the side that wraps against the cylinder. The hose is still too long as well.
