Anyone using/used them? I'll be gear shopping with my instructor in the next few weeks but opinions are always valuable to have.
Cheers!

I own a eclipse 40lb wing and works great....no complaints here. Also check out the oxycheq signature series wing that is very similar. There are a few pics of mine in my gallery.

Thanks Dryglove...
It seems from what I've been seeing on a search is that most people posting are activly using the Pioneer wings. Is there a reason to choose Pioneer over Eclipse for a single tank set up?

Dryglove:
The Poneer costs less than the Eclipse but the Eclipse is more durable. The Pioneer doesn't need a single tank adapter (built-in).
I'd take the Eclipse (which I'll be buying in a few weeks) for durability reasons.
Apparently, it's difficult / impossible to repair a punctured Pioneer.

I've repaired a gash in my Pioneer.
Several DIR-NL members have indicated otherwise. Doesn't really matter.
How often does one puncture their wing?

SunFishSarah:
Also keep im mind that the eclipse wings are fairly new to the market where the pioneer wings have been around for a while not to mention they are cheaper. The eclipse is a heavy duty two layer version of the pioneer. I used a pioneer for a while and gashed it due to my own dumb fault when the bp/wing assembly fell landing on the lower corner of the BP with the wing sandwhiched between the ground and BP. I patched it and used it for quite a while afterwards.

My wife, my son and myself all have Eclipse wings. No problems and they have a slightly smaller profile than the equivalent lift Pioneer. I would recommend them. I would also check out the Oxycheq Signatures.

Much shopping and hysterical laughing at Joe, Pat, and Scott whose antics/comments and advice made the trip worthwhile. Someone kept telling me everything was on sale!! Ended up with extras as I always do. None of the accesories I wanted came in pink.. Suunto should really get a clue.. Moving on.....
After all was said and done today and I ended up with the Eclipse and Mike with the Pioneer. If all else fails we can trade..
Thank you all for your comments, as always.
