Hi,
I need a single tank wing to dive in moderately warm (18-25°C) salt water, mostly in drysuit, and also probably, while travelling, in tropical (25-30°C) waters (where I may not bring the drysuit... not sure yet). I already have a Halcyon Evolve wing, so I'll only use this one where I can't rent / bring doubles.
On this purpose, I'm not clear on which one would be the best between Halcyon Eclipse and Halcyon Traveler Pro.
What I understand from Halcyon website is that the only difference between them is that the Traveler Pro has four cam slots, making it compatible with the carbon fiber built-in STA. So considering that the price is the same for both wings, I can't see any reason not to choose the Traveler Pro, which seems to be the same but more flexible if at any moment in the future I want to buy a CF backplate and stop using an STA.
Regarding BP and STA, I currently own a SS Halcyon Backplate, so I'll start with this one and add an STA for the moment. I don't know the amount of weight I'll need so I'll experiment a little bit before adding an integrated weight to the STA or switch to a lighter BP.
Finally, I'm considering a 20lbs size. Would it be sufficient (I have a GUE-style gear)?
On doubles, I have a 40lbs wing and it seems to be definitely enough.
Any help?
Thanks
