You are correct sir! But seeing as how you were quoting me from a loooooong time ago you are also wrong. I own an Eclipse and 2 Evolves and they are great, no complaints at all. But being that they no longer make the Pioneer it is a moot point! To the other posters, Oxycheq and Deep Sea Supply weren't making a single tank wing back then, so they couldn't be recommended or in fact even mentioned
. Also since about 2004 I would rather use a black hefty bag for a wing than any OMS product.
Well since this thread is revived for all those now looking to fill their singles wing needs:
While I own a OMS 45# bungie wing and find it a comfortable wing to dive as a single wing. (it is rated for both singles and doubles)
For a streamline wing with the least resistance I use a Oxycheq 30# Mach V.
There are smaller wings with less lift capacity but I prefer more reserve lift capacity than they offer.

Gotta add another vote for a DSS BP/W and for Tobin. DSS makes a great product at a great price, and you cannot beat Tobin's customer service. He spent close to an hour on the phone with me to make sure I was buying the right wing for my diving needs and nothing extra.

HORRIBLE customer service. I had a few questions about some gear I owned and some I was thinking about buying (NOT calling to complain). They would never answer the phone, return calls, or return E-mails. I sold the few pieces of OMS gear I had (plate, wing, sta) and moved on. A lot of others have had the same experience I did. Not to mention that OMS claims NOT to allow authorization for Leisure Pro to sell any of their gear, yet LP sells/sold EVERY piece if gear that OMS has. With a company based in the same state as LP doesn't that seem odd?
