DUX wings -comments?

Spiros Siouris · August 29th, 2006, 05:02 PM

I was looking at wings for a twinset setup (what a way to kill some time!) and came accross the DUX brand http://www.dux-diving.cz/. The description for the materials for the wing is:

Quote:

material: Outer- Balistic Nylon 1840 dtex, inner bag high-frequency welded Cordura 560 with PU, zip RiRi, capacity: 23 l

Has anybody tried this wing?, and if so, what do you think of it?

The wing looks a lot like the Halcyon Evolve. Their other gear seems to be similar to the DIRzone kit.

I've never heard of the brand so unfortunately I can't have a firm opinion. It looks good but until you see it or try it you never know.

Halcyon has a 40# and 60# doubles donut wing (see below). The one above is 50# so I guess it fills the void if it's the same otherwise (in terms of length, etc), though I konw nothing of the brand.

There is a slight possibility that I m ight stop liking dougnut wings.
The hose routing is wiered and also I got my tanks stepping on the bottom section and ripping little holes into it.

I probably would have gone back to using my Halcyon Exploroer, but the staff at Diver Lodge in Hurghada stole it

I've decided to just stick to my original choice (Evolve 40lb) as there's no need for me for a 50lb wing...
