Choosing a backplate and wing has proven to be a daunting task and has not actually yielded any conclusion yet. I have either had to borrow or rent. So many differing opinions and valid points but I was hoping that some of you could shed some light on what you would say are the brands for tech BC systems. I have narrowed down some possibilities: the Halcyon Explorer/Evolve wings and the Dive Rite Classic XT wing look to be very robust and efficient designs. I have dived on the Halcyon Explorer but not on Dive Rite as of yet. As for Apeks, I love their regs but I am not too familar with their BC's
Could anyone provide me with some insight into both of these as well as mention some other options as well? In terms of harnesses and backplates, I prefer the minimalist nylon webbing design as well as SS backplates. So whichever wing is considered the best will be the brand I most likely will get a harness and backplate from as well.
I have only recently entered the world of tech diving so if some of my questions may seem a bit obvious or I am not offering enough information then please let me know and I will provide you with as much info as I can.
Thank you for your time, guys.
