Which Wing?

Thinking about DIR-F in feb. I have twin 7's on a diverite rec wing (butched by John K) but it's slowly dieing on me so need to replace it.

Whats the recommended for twin 7's from the experienced people on here

HIya - I had a 38lb Agir wing with my twin 7s (when I used to dive them) and it worked fine - slightly narrower than the Halcyon wing which left less excess to wrap.

Having said that, we held the new Evolve wing against Daz's twin 7s on Friday and it looked like it would be a better fit. So you could think of this one - albeit you would have to import from the States as it is not available in the UK yet.

Both of these wings will do for twin 12s and several stages should your diving progress.

what did you do to your RecWing to DIR it? Just cut off the bungees?

I've used the DIRZone 20L (one tough little wing) with twin 7's with no problems (normally use 12's) but if I was in the market for a wing today I'd try and borrow an Evolve from someone for a dive before making my mind up. I've not flown on myself yet but they are supposed to be very nice and well worth looking at.
