Dear All,

I'm in the process of purchasing a BP/Wing set up and would like to know what size wing I should buy, the 27lb or 36lb?

Warm tropical water ONLY!
5mm full length (yes I know I'm a wimp)
Al. Back plate
Body weight 157lbs
Al. tanks

Thanks all in Advance.
 
27lbs wing. 36lbs is overkill for what you want.

You may want to consier getting a Stainless Steel plate to help get some weight off your belt, especially with a thicker suit. The SS plate weighs 6lbs, the AL plate weighs 1 or 2lbs.

How much weight do you use now with your current setup?

I wear a 3/5 wetsuit with AL tanks, and all I need is the SS BP to get down.
