I have the Deep Six Gear 30-lb wing for my SS backplate rig, which is great for local cold water diving, but I find the wing to be super bulky and awkward to pack for a flight. It doesn't roll or fold well and ends up taking a ton of space.
I'm looking to get a 20-25lb wing for when I travel to warm-water destinations. Any advice on the most compact/packable/stowable wings in this lift range?
Some further context - when I travel I check a soft duffel and fill it with all of my "indestructibles" (backplate/harness, wetsuits, fins, clothing, boat bag, etc). With me on the plane goes my camera bag (as carry-on luggage) and a backpack as personal item. In the backpack, I carry my regulator coiled up and my wing. With my current 30-lb wing, it takes up the whole backpack and I don't have room for anything else.
