I bought the Halcyon Pioneer 36 Lb wing setup, as recomended by the guy at 5th Dimension when I asked. I dive dry (46 F water pretty much year around here), and currently wear 22 Lbs, plus the 6 Lbs of the BP itself. I'm willing to bet your best choice would also be the 36 Lb wing.cstreu1026 once bubbled...
I am going back and wing. The only problem is that I don't know how much lift i need. Around home I will be doing mostly cool-cold freshwater dives int eh quarries. Typically I will be in a 7mm wetsuit with i beleive in the neighborhood of 27lbs of weight but I don't have my log book so that is just from memory. I have been looking at the Halcyon 27lb Pioneer but I don't think that is enough for cold water diving. I hae also been looking at a 40lb setup from Deep Outdoors. Anyone have a recomendation on wing size?

My choice was not as complicated. In freshwater, I will have a drysuit (built in extra air if need be). In salt, more bouyant.
I went with the 27lb, mostly because it was cheaper.
It works well, UNLESS you are overweighted. :whoa: :drown:
