Does anyone know how much lift the older Halcyon 55# wing actually has. My buddy just got a neww 55 and it is deffinitely bigger. I noticed that with my double hp 100s that full it just kept my head out of the water . Not really any lift to spare if I would have been bobbing in any waves. That was with my drysuit and a 9lb plate. I will say though I love the way the wing hugs the tanks and doesn't trap any air though.

Just a faint memory but I seem to remember someone saying the old 55lb was really more like 46lb... don't quote me on that though... :wink:
