Inexpensive Doubles Wings?

[CaveSloth]

There is this one from Piranha Dive:

40lb Donut Tec Wing for Doubles! w/ free Domestic Shipping in BLACK

and then this one from DGX:

DGX Gears D1 Doubles Wing - 55lb Lift | Dive Gear Express®

Any other inexpensive doubles wings out there? Know anything about the ones above?

Found these on Amazon:

40lbs is not enough for most doubles
That DGX profile looks backwards to me, too much lift at the hips, you'll be making like an ostrich if you aren't careful.

Just buy a used one

@tbone1004 I thought the same thing about this oxycheq profile:

OxyCheq - OxyCheq 57# Vertex Extreme Dual Bladder Dual Inflator

what do you think?

 

[tbone1004]

agreed, but are you looking for dual bladder or single bladder? Have to commit to one first.

i agree with tbone...look used. I was able to pick up a 45lb hollis wing and a 60lb halcyon wing for 200 a piece used.

i also considered the mares XR wings which come is 44 & 52 lb models for 250-300 between leisurepro and DGX. I chose not to because I could not find any reviews or folks that had used them but Mares seems to be making a real push to get into the tec market.

I'm actually on the fence. I'd prefer dual but would settle for single. I dive double steels wet but it's on rocky shallow bottoms and with a buddy and I carry an SMB so if my wing really died there are all manner of ways for me to make it back to the surface.
