[... other stuff snipped ...] Tina and I used the 15# wings on our Caribbean dive trip last month. With "standard issue" AL80, OMS stainless steel backplate and single-cylinder adaptor and 5mm one-piece wetsuit. They worked well, plenty of lift for all purposes, including resting on the surface with a full cylinder. My only nit ... the inflator hose is a tad long. The only time I use the inflator to dump air is at the start of a dive, and I find I'm able to do that without moving the inflator from it's hold-down on my harness just by leaning back a little. I've shortened the hose on the wings I use for doubles, and moved the D-ring and inflator bungie up on my harness to match. The inflator hose on the Halcyon 15# wing dangles a bit due to that extra couple of inches in length. On my other wings, changing the hose was no big deal. This one, as Nanci says, looks very well put together and I'm hesitant to screw with it. Art Greenberg artg@ec*.ne* -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
