More BP/wing; Halcyon vs Oxycheq

drew52 · Nov 25, 2005

Hi guys I know its another one but having now decided it's definately the BP/wing I want to know about these 2 brands as they are easily available in SA. Which means easier to sort out if there are problems.

Please let me know your thoughts on which is better. I know its just an opinion but if I get enough of them I can make a more informed decision.

If not better then perhaps the pro's and con's of each brand.

Thanks

I can't comment on the Halcyon other than saying when I did my research the opinions I got were that Oxycheq was preferred over Halcyon. I have Oxycheq single and doubles wings. Both are great wings. I like the donut shape vs the horseshoe shape concept, but I've never dived with horseshoe. I just like the ease of being able to purge the wing no matter where the air is. Oxycheq wings are low profile creating good trim. The fill and vent easy.

I use an Oxy30 single wing and a Halcyon55 doubles wing...I can't see any huge differences in one brand over the other in terms of quality or design.

I've used both. Both are excellent products. I own a Halcyon product, and will likely be purchasing an Oxy product in the near future. You can't go wrong with either.

Hi

I have used Halcyon wings for a few years now, both the single Pioneer and the Explorer versions, and they work great.

Yes, I've had 50 dives with my own Eclipse 40. I've been very happy with it! You can't go wrong with a single wing BP/web set up. It even fits perfect for a small and slim mounted set of doubles.
