The Halcyon Eclipse Single Tank Wing System is a versatile, one-size-fits-all BC system designed for single-tank divers, featuring easy adjustability for various diving styles and suit thicknesses. This system includes:
- Halcyon Eclipse Wing (20lbs, 30lbs, or 40lbs)
- ACB Integrated Weight Pockets
- Aluminum or Stainless Steel Backplate with adjustable harness
- MC Storage Pack and stainless steel bolts
- Single Tank Adapter (upgradeable to Weighted STA)
The Eclipse Wing provides optimal horizontal trim and minimizes drag, with easy inspection via a circular zipper. The system features durable materials and a drainage system for quick water release. The included Halcyon ACB Weight System offers quick-release weight pockets for added convenience.
Ideal for all divers, it is a future-proof option, allowing easy upgrade to twinset diving with a separate wing.
What is the difference between wing and BCD?
The low drag design of the wing spreads the air in a balanced way on the back of the diver, keeping the wing part of the compensator out of the way and offering unprecedented streamlining during a dive.
There are no air-inflated side panels or pockets as on traditional ‘jacket type’ BC’s, avoiding a “legs down” position often caused by air to the side and front of the diver.
There are no restrictions on the diver’s chest – making it extremely comfortable, with no chest compression, and also allowing one size to fit all with no hassle.
The advantages of a wing system over a “jacket type” BC are numerous. The Halcyon Eclipse Wing System depends on a one-piece webbing harness looped through a sturdy aluminium or stainless steel backplate that should last many lifetimes.
Once donned, a webbing crotch strap can be utilised to keep the whole system in place with minimum movement.
The continuous loop harness prevents the frustrating lack of control found with typical buoyancy compensators. Once adjusted to the size and fit of the suit, there is nothing that can break or come loose.
