Recommended in: Backplate and Wing

Things we like:

  • Quick-dry outer material keeps the wing light, making it ideal for travel. The aluminum backplate is perfect for warm waters, while the steel version helps with weight distribution in colder conditions.
  • Setup comes unassembled, allowing divers to customize their setup
  • Coated materials prevent water absorption, keeping the gear light during and after dives
  • Integrated handle makes it easy to transport between dives.
  • Easy to add weight pockets or a tank adapter, making it simple to adjust to your diving preferences

Things we don't like:

  • Assembly is required, which may be challenging for those new to backplate and wing systems
  • Bare bones design might not be suitable for divers who prefer built-in features
