After a using Scubapro X tek donut wings on about 20 dives the spring I will ay that these wings have proved to be very efficient at evenly distributing and effortlessly releasing air. My wife was struggling with air getting trapped in the corners and folds of her old BCD making buoyancy erratic. Since changing to the Scubapro backplate and donut wing she has had a breaktrough to easy and controllable neutral buoyancy. She uses a 30 lb and I have the same Scubapro Xtek 40 lb donut wing. The w...ings are streamlined, well made and have a tough cover protecting the bladders. Typical rugged and simple Scubapro products. Highly recommended.
Bullet proof (okay, don't test it that way!) Very pleased with the heavy duty construction, no nonsense design for streamlined diving. Every part screamed quality, which is why pretty muchevery piece of gear I use is Scubapro.
Scubapro's X-TEK products incorporate many years of knowledge and experience offering tech divers exceptional results. No matter where your dives may take you: to the most mysterious caves, in old, dilapidated ship wrecks or in the deepest depths of the oceans, with the TEK products from Scubapro you will always have a reliable and safe companion.
Scubapro's X-Tek Donut Wing Provides unprecedented buoyancy control regardless of your diving position. Wing is manufactured using a strong and durable 1680-denier ballistic nylon outer shell guaranteeing a high-quality external bladder with maximum abrasion resistance. The inner bladder is made of durable 420-denier nylon for superior puncture resistance compared to just a polyurethane bladder found on other buoyancy devices.
Outer shell has a zippered closure for easy access to the internal bladder, 5 durable grommets and 4 reinforced cylinder band slots for attachment to harness, back-plate and cylinders. Donut wing comes equipped with a large lower left front overpressure relief valve with manual pull dump cord and Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator Mechanism for perfect buoyancy control. Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator provides a high inflation speed, especially at depth. Inflator has different shaped inflation and purge buttons for easy use even in extremely low light or murky water conditions. Inflator is also equipped with a rapid pull dump mechanism with cable pull for easy deflation of the air bladder. The X-Tek Donut Wing comes with a 3/8" threaded low-pressure hose with quick-connect fitting and an owner's manual. Wing is available with lift capacities of 30 and 40 lbs. (13 and 18 kg).

Can this be attached to the DiveRite Transpac harness?
steven g
Yes it will with a single tank adaptor.
SCOTT S
Is the size (i.e. physical dimensions) of the 30 and 40 identical, or is the 30 physically smaller than the 40?
LOUIS G
Sorry not sure I would go to the SCUBA Pro websiteEnter an answer to this question.
DAVID H
it is not incredibly different but yes it is physically smaller
ENRIQUE A
Hello yes the 30 is smaller than the 40, I normally dive in California cold water and I used the 40 because I dive with dry suit but take in mind the amount of weight/tank size material and do your math, hope this help dive safe and GOD bless
Shopper
Does this work with scubapro air 2?
ALEX K
This wing is intended for advanced recreational or technical diving. I would not recommend the use of any regulator integrated with an air inflator for use with this wing or any other.
NEIL J
Yes. I've used it that way.
ENRIQUE A
Yes it does, that's what I have in mine but I have to get a longer rib hose the one goes from the air 2 to the wing so I gets the same length like a regular bcd.
GEORGE G
Yes it does. Have one on my setup. Probably could have installed myself but did let a technician do it.
Edwin M
What is the best size for medium built Asian male diver?
ENRIQUE A
Hello Depents on where you are planing to use it warm or cold water? I am 5.6 tall 170 weight I have the 40 with stainless steel plate because I dive on cold water on California so I have to use a lot of lead but if you plan to use it in warm water use the 30. But is very good equipment you won't go wrong with it a lot better than the regular bcd. Hop this help you on your decision dive safe and GOD bless
ALAN K
I am 5'11" and 160 pounds. I believe that I have the medium which fits fine. If I could change anything, it would be to get a little more buoyancy. I have a pony tank and can only typically add 5 pounds of weight. Conversely, I can't dump enough weight if I needed to. Go for bigger bladder.
HARVEY H
Max 30lb wing. Unless you are running deep with two or three stage tanks attached the 30 is plenty for eeceeational diving. I had a 40 and it was tacoed all the time so i changed to a 30. It works great. I am a 6'-2" tall and 225 lbs american male.
LOUIS G
It's not a cut and dry answer. It would be based more on what equipment and with the baby are going to do basically how much left do you need
Marcelo R
Marcelo Roselli: Good Morning! Please, Can send to me the dimensions of package or box that include the products? Thank You.
ALEX K
ABout the size of a carryon suitcase
GEORGE G
Did not come in a box but rather in a plastic packaging slightly bigger than items.
JESUS F
I don't remember exactly but it was larger than a large pizza box.
