We are proud to release the new LX wing range, developed and tested by technical divers and 3 years in the making. Quality and performance are the two most integral features of our products, which is why we have reintroduced the proven S series and C series wings with key improvements. New materials include a 1680D Cordura for the exterior bladder and 420 nylon for the internal bladder. The LX design also includes a 360 degree internal retraction system. This has been added to match the design of the wing, allowing for a streamlined rig at all times.

Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Every Dive: Rinse the entire BC/BCD, including the wing, inflator, and dump valves, with fresh water after each dive. This helps remove salt, sand, and debris. Avoid pressing the inflator while rinsing to prevent water from entering.
• Inspect the Wing Bladder: Regularly check the bladder for any signs of damage, leaks, or punctures. If you find any issues, have the wing repaired or replaced immediately to ensure safety.
• Check the Inflator and Dump Valves: Test the inflator and dump valves to ensure they are working smoothly. Clean them after each dive to prevent any salt or debris buildup that could cause clogs.
• Examine Straps and D-Rings: Check the straps, buckles, and D-rings for signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are securely fastened and functioning correctly. Replace any damaged straps or buckles promptly.
• Dry Thoroughly: After rinsing, hang the BC upside down to drain completely and let it air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid drying the BC under direct sunlight or heat sources, as it could damage the material.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the inflator valve and any moving components (such as buckles and zippers) to keep them operating smoothly and to prevent corrosion.
• Store Properly: Store the BC in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sunlight, and chemicals. Avoid folding it tightly to preserve the shape and integrity of the bladder and fabric.
• Annual Servicing: Have your BC/BCD professionally serviced at least once a year to ensure all components, including the bladder, valves, and inflator, are in optimal working condition.
