looks clean. wonder what the price point on this will be

the wing looks cool, though i'm sure everyone (including myself) will be a bit concerned about the center dump if they go cave diving. The harness itself and the bungies across the belly could use some work. As is, not sure it looks a lot more advanced than the tikibill MSR-like rigs, just with some upgrades to the wing. that might actually be enough to make it awesome, just not sure.

What is it supposed to accomplish that the Stealth or Razor won't?

Global dealer network inplace probably.

Doesn't look "cave friendly"...

Doesn't look "cave friendly"...

that rubber-looking material on the wing looks like it needs a cordura shield, thats for sure. and that center dump looks just right for catching debris...

Now that it is released, has anyone here had the chance to try it? Impressions?

I saw a prototype in mexico in january that didn't look as nice as the final product. The weight

I'm specially curious about how the wing and weight pouch are attached to the grommet strip on the harness.

As for the rubber looking material of the wing it is supposedly more abrasion resistant than cordura.

Worst Razor knock-off ever and they want almost 800 euros for it! That's almost 900usd!

Trimm weight pockets seem to be an extra 90 euro.

It's too expensive. I dive the Stealth for 450 euro. That works fine.
