I own a deep outdoors backplate and wing. Bought them used on ebay. I bought it as a 40lb wing, but when I had to replace the inner bladder, the replacement was listed as a 34 lb wing. Didnt make a difference to me. I also ditched the straps in favor of a single piece of 2 inch webbing rigged hog style. Pretty straightforward stuff, and they have served me well. Just your basic backplate and wing, nothing fancy. No complaints.
I have a 40 # wing and a matrix harness with a SS plate and integrated weight system. It is very well built gear. I removed the Matrix harness and mostly use a one piece webbing hog rig. I have another smaller Deepoutdoors wing, I am guesstimating 28 lbs that I am getting ready to rig as a BP/W set up. it gets the job done and if you get one for a good price I would take it.
I bought both of mine off eBay new. One wing was 80 bucks and the other was 28 bucks. Too good to pass up.
I have a Deep Outdoors doubles wing, and I like it. The profile with big "shoulders" works to minimize head-heaviness for me. I did replace the ridiculously long corrugated hose on the inflator, though.
