Brand: Dive Rite

Located in: Essential Equipment, Buoyancy Compensators

The Classic Wing is technical diving's first buoyancy compensator, originally introduced to the diving world by Dive Rite in 1985. Designed specifically for use with double cylinders, the Classic Wing is the most streamlined wing of its kind on the market. Its streamlined shape comes from the unique side panels that maintain lift capacity, while minimizing drag by reducing overall width. The Classic Wing provides up to 60 pounds/27 kg of lift and can accommodate two 104 ft3/17 L back mounted cylinders and one 80 ft3 /11 L stage bottle. Tough, ballistic nylon outer bags protect the wing from tears and abrasion. The 15-mil urethane bladder is abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and resists the growth of microorganisms. 16-inch rapid exhaust (pull dump), The Classic Wing is designed for use with the TransPac, TransPlate or any webbing-style harness. The product is made in the U.S.A.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite Classic wings (60 Lbs. lift):

It is a good product with a lot of lift capacity. Beware though: it does not have any retraction bands and can therefore only be used with doubles or with a (wide) rebreather. Not suited for single tank. Also, in my humble opinion there should be a bottom purge on both sides of the wing (there is only one purge on the bottom left side). All other single-cell wings I know have the same feature. Why can't manufacturers get that right?
