I'm putting together gear for an upcoming Intro to tech class, with AN/DP sometime in the near future, and trying to determine what size doubles wing. I played around with the Optimal Buoyancy calculator, but had to guesstimate some entries. Using 'worst case" scenario - my 5mm wetsuit, double LP 85s, with an AL80 stage, - I came up with a little over 30lbs of lift needed with my AL backplate. Does this sound right, a 40lb wing? In my area, a 40lb Halcyon Evolve is listed for $200, which is what I'd prob buy if it's still available...
