Can anyone tell if this is a doubles or singles wing? I got a real good deal on trademe for this bcd (315 NZ dollars) and didn't pay too much attention to what I was buying. However the wing looks massive and I'm thinking it might be a doubles wing? The seller claimed it had a lift capacity of 25kg. I initially thought that they meant lbs and didn't think anymore of it but now that it's arrived I'm wondering. This my first bp/w so I've got no experience with how it should look. For reference the flat area inside the donut is the size of the backplate.

Looks like a doubles wing to me, you'll need a STA to fit a single tank to it as there are no gaps for cam bands in the material around the grommets.

What are the dimensions ?
 
So much for my response, what ^^^ he ^^^ said.

You always wanted to get doubles anyway, right.
 
Hopefully that wing came with a bottle salsa.

The good news is when you do get a singles wing it will work on that backplate without a STA.
 
Right guess I'll have to find a deal on a singles wing then.

It came with a STA, straps and bolts. Dimensions are (from memory) approximately 0.5m x 1m? I'm not sure as I'm quite bad at estimates.

I do actually:eyebrow:, part of the reason I bought a backplate in the first place.
