Thanks Joe! The wing has two OP valves, one on the upper right and one lower left, The inflator hose is the problem. Thanks the info at deco stop, I will look into it.

I appreciate the help guys.

No Problem. Agir stuff is pretty good and if that guy still has his maybe you can get a sweat deal.

also check out the golem 55lb wing pretty well bomb proof. I dive the halcyon explorere 55. also a great wing.

I use an Evolve 40 lb wing for my AL80s and PST E7-100s, and an Evolve 60 lb for my PST E8-130s. Both are awesome. :-)

Best thing to do is sit down and figure out how much LIFT you reallly need. Remember that ideally your rig should be balanced to the point where you can easily hold a hover at 10' with an empty wing, near empty tanks and no ditchable weight. This means the wing is really only carrying the weight of the gas in the tanks plus any ditchable items you are carrying (scooters, stages, cameras, etc.) You'd be surprised at how small a wing you really need when you start selecting gear based on its buoyancy characteristics. This doesnt mean select an ultra small wing since you may need to swim a buddy out in an ememrgency, but the super big 60,70,80,100 lb wings are just overkill. 55 lbs is plenty for a set of large steels.

Once you know what size of wing you need, look at the shape (donut vs horshoe) and features such as OPRV and dump valve placement and inflator placement.

I've been diving the same 55lb Halcyon Explorer on my 104's for 7 years and wouldn't give it up for the world. I also use a 40 lb explorer for my 80's. I just dont like the way the HP hose runs across the bottom of the donut wings. The Agir wings are also well built and have an excellent reputation.

I have curently and halcyon evolve 60 for my 130's and explorer 40 for double al80's

I also have used diverites classic wing. Witch is also a great wing and are very affordable (as low as 60bucks on ebay )and it is everywear .The reason i got rid of my old classic is the fac that with the worthington tanks i always find my self knees down with a horse shoe wing .

I've used the Halcyon Evolve 40 with double AL 80's and it's great! I am in the market for one, if anyone knows of one for sale. :-)

Just retired my Classic wing this year after nearly 10 years and over 2000 dives on it. I went to a Halcyon Explorer 55 this year. Flawless wing (and in Red), slightly better trim, as the lower part flanges out just a hair further than the Classic, a slight bit wider and a bit more lift at the top of the wing too.

I tried the Evolve last season as it's my best seller, but it didn't work for me. Inverted me too much, as there's too much lift in the rear.
