DIR Donut Wing HTE 16 (16kg / 30lbs)

The DIR-HTE 16 Wing is a circular (donut/annular) back-mounted wing with 30 lbs of lift (approximately 14 kg / 135 N), specifically designed for single tank configurations. This wing is the ideal core for those who wish to assemble and customize their technical or travel back-mounted BCD according to their precise preferences, ensuring excellent hydrodynamics and impeccable trim.

Technical Specifications and Materials:

• Geometry: Annular / Circular (Donut).
• Lift Capacity: 30 lbs (recommended for single tank).
• Outer Shell: Made from highly robust DuPont 1000 Denier Cordura, offering maximum resistance to cuts, tears, and accidental abrasions.
• Inner Bladder: Inner air cell produced from 420 Denier Cordura, ensuring excellent elasticity and optimal watertightness over time.
• Drains and Valves: Equipped with an overpressure/rapid dump valve strategically positioned on the lower left side.
• Inflator Assembly: Fitted with an extremely flexible 41 cm oval corrugated hose, designed to offer significantly higher air dump flow than traditional round corrugated hoses. The inflator control is the reliable Kappa model.

Modularity and Key Features:

• Universal Compatibility: Thanks to its standard hole spacing, this wing can be attached to any steel or aluminum backplate available on the market, offering complete configuration freedom.
• Perfect Trim: The continuous annular shape allows gas to distribute smoothly and symmetrically around the tank. This prevents trapped air pockets and allows the diver to maintain a natural and stable trim (horizontal posture) during the dive.
• Configuration Flexibility: * For a complete technical BCD, this wing can be paired with a backplate with harness and single tank adapter (STA).
• For a lightweight travel BCD, the wing can be configured with an aluminum backplate and an aluminum single tank adapter, optimizing weight for airline baggage.

Target Use:

The DIR-HTE 16 Wing is the perfect choice for advanced recreational divers and those entering the world of technical diving, seeking a clean, minimalist, and extremely robust back-mounted system for their single tank dives.
