Small doubles wing for single tank

[formernuke]

I got my stimulus check, so I used it to stimulate my local economy at my LDS and ordered a singles wing.

I don't know but everyone should probably listen to hardattack. After all, he's a GUE instuctor and he's cool enough to use "bro" in a sentence.

GUE Intern* I know nothing—don't listen to me.

Regardless of the approach, I believe that what Happy was pointing out originally were the fastex clips that Zeagle uses to keep the wing held to the harness at it's widest point (addressing the OPs concern about a wide wing taco-ing).

Respectfully,

Hi James, I got that part, but why buy a new BCD? He already has an evolve which requires a back plate. Could he use the 40? meh, it wouldn't be ideal considering he still needs the adapter—so with that said, picking up a 28-30lbs single tank wing and adapter would be the answer to his situation.

Have the adapter also, I just switched to doubles even for shore diving so I ditched my singles wing. But hey in three weeks I'll have a single wing again....... I'm starting a new group SDA (scuba divers anomous) I think most in this forum should join.

Having seen @happy-diver post in the past, i figured he was advocating adding clips to the wing the OP has (a $3 solution) and using the Zeagle as an example of the method.... However, neither of us are inside Happy's head (I hope) so we can only guess, lol.
I don't think he was trolling... I think he was offering a solution.

Very cool, yeah grab a custom 30lb'er from halcyon and you're good to go. I'd also recommend Light Monkey wings. Cheers!

Lets ask him for calcification,@happy-diver, how would purchasing a new Zeagle BCD and copying what you have rigged for a chest-mounted rebreather help OP with his situation needing a smaller-sized wing and backplate set-up for single tank diving?

Halycon will match my doubles wing.

Still not sure if it's a purple addiction or a dive addiction, maybe both. I know they are expensive but I'm supporting an American manufacturer and a local shop this way.

That looks badass. I'm a huge fan of hot pink but I'm not sure if I'm ready to do a full wing yet. Lol. I do have all my tackling done in hot pink though.
