Halcyon Evolve Wing System with Adjustable Cinch Harness
The Halcyon Evolve Wing System introduces a novel, industry-first circular design, offering unprecedented buoyancy control and precise trim management for twinset diving. This wing system is engineered to provide optimal performance across all diving conditions, making it perfect for both technical divers and those seeking ease in buoyancy control.
Key Features of the Halcyon Evolve Wing System:
- Circular Wing Design: The unique circular shape allows for superior control over in-water buoyancy and trim. The wing’s design minimizes gas trapping, offering a balanced and streamlined profile for better control during dives, including wreck and cave explorations.
- Two Lift Capacities: Available in 40lbs (18kg) and 60lbs (27kg) lift capacities, providing enough lift for most divers. The 40lbs version is typically sufficient for most twinset setups.
- Improved Stability and Efficiency: The Evolve wing is designed for maximum horizontal trim and efficient buoyancy management, cutting through water with minimal drag whether swimming or scootering.
- Seamless Integration: The Evolve integrates smoothly with Halcyon’s existing MC systems, allowing for easy venting of gas from the overpressure valve during dives. Its design ensures that divers can adjust buoyancy effortlessly.
- Durable and Tested: Extensively tested in diverse conditions from the tropics to the Arctic, this wing performs reliably with both aluminum and steel cylinders.
Additional Features:
- Lifetime Warranty on RF-welded seams for the inner bladder, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.
- 1680-denier ballistic nylon outer shell provides rugged durability, while the 400-denier nylon bladder ensures flexibility and reliability.
- Adjustable Cinch Harness: The wing system comes with Halcyon’s adjustable Cinch harness, allowing for quick and easy adjustments without compromising the integrity of the harness or webbing. Ideal for divers of all sizes or those changing suits.
- Factory-Set System: The system comes fully pre-assembled with minimal fine-tuning needed to adjust the harness to fit your specific needs.
The Halcyon Evolve Wing System is an essential tool for divers who demand precision in buoyancy control, advanced trim management, and high-level comfort. Whether you are an experienced cave diver or a wreck diver, the Evolve system promises reliable performance, offering flexibility for divers to grow and evolve with their gear setup.
Halcyon Evolve Wing System with Adjustable Cinch Harness includes
- Halcyon Evolve Wing (40lbs or 60lbs)

- Halcyon MC Storage Pack and bolts for backplate
Halcyon Cinch Harness
The Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness redefines what it means to dive a backplate, building upon a platform of simplicity while providing unprecedented security and ease of adjustment.
Halcyon developed the Cinch to save divers time and effort while sizing, fine-tuning and resizing diving harnesses.
Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the harness in a flash without compromising the harness integrity or Halcyon’s trademark, continuous webbing.
Adjustments to the Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique assembly. You can even easily adjust the fit of their plate in or out of the water with a simple push or pull.
If you need a quick way to get out of your dive system or if you regularly change the thickness of your diving suit, Cinch Adjustable Harness will change the way you dive.
The Halcyon Cinch is specifically designed for Halcyon backplates and therefore does not fit all backplates.
The below Cinch components will be fully fitted to your backplate:
- Cinch adapter plate
- Halcyon Harness Webbing
- Separate left-hip D-ring assembly
- Extension bolt
- Bolts kit four stainless steel bolts with weldmate nuts
- Right-hip light retainer assembly
- Weight pocket attachment (pair) which allows the secure harness webbing to slide freely without affecting the placement of the light, ACB or D-ring.
- Quick-adjust crotch strap
Halcyon MC Storage Pak
The Halcyon backplate pocket is the most efficient means to store any of the various Halcyon inflatable markers with ease.
Stowing your favorite lift device in a Halcyon Storage Pak provides a hassle-free storage place without compromising the ability for rapid deployment of a SMB or lift bag.
Halcyon Backplate
As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we proudly sell.
Halcyon backplates have been refined to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available. Small details, like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate, create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile, the precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon.
Specially designed for mating with all Halcyon and conventional wings, the Halcyon Backplate is available in 3mm Stainless Steel and Aluminum. The utility holes allow easy mating with the MC Storage Pak to stow an SMB or to fit a drysuit inflation system.
Steel Backplate
- Constructed from high-grade, polished 304 stainless steel
- Bare backplate weight: 2.22kg
- Size: 26cm x 39.3cm
Aluminium Backplate
- Constructed from high-grade hard-coat aluminium
- Bare backplate weight: 0.77kg
- Size: 26cm x 39.3cm
What backplate to use?
While not set in stone, aluminium backplates are generally preferred by travelling or wet suit divers as they are lighter than their stainless steel counterparts.
The popular backplate for drysuit diving is stainless steel, where the additional weight is a benefit (spreading out the weight needed to compensate for buoyancy while taking it off the diver’s waist).
Both backplates are based on the same Halcyon design and are compatible with the Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness. Most UK divers who use drysuits prefer the steel backplate.
