The wing itself is great. The harness sucks eggs, as the webbing is so slippery it's impossible to adjust properly for any length of time. I used mine only until my Combro backplate arrived.
It's great for twin 7s, tho I didn't get on at all well with the camband system - if you can use bolts, then I'd advise you to do so.
The corrugate hose wouldn't look out of place on an elephant's face, but it's easy enough to chop that short. I found the pull-dump on the corrugated hose too bulky - it tried to occupy the same space as the twinset. I replaced it with a non-dumping elbow which was much better.
I had a try at putting a pull-dump cord on the right shoulder drump, but it had a tendency to jam either closed or (worse) open. The bum-dump, I find, is rarely in a position to dump a worthwhile amount of air.
The D-rings on the side of the wing didn't add any value, so I removed them. Same goes for those triglides the waist strap is threaded thru, tho they might prove useful if you use it with a single tank.
Gosh, sounds very doom & gloom, doesn't it? I'll re-iterate that it's a great wing and I'm very happy with it. It just needs a bit of adapting
My basic advice would have to be: Unless (like me) you want a nice red wing instead of a boring black one, forget the Tekwing and buy a Redwing and Combro steel plate. Get them to supply it with a non-dumping elbow on the corrugated hose, ditch the D-rings on the sides of the wing, put the hose on the left side if you bought the Redwing, and voila, you'll have a very tough wing, idea for twin 7s, at a very low cost.
You'll have to get used to dumping via the hose instead of by a pull-dump, which is a pity, but that's wings for you.
