The Dive Rite Classic Wing has stood the test of time as the first aircell designed specifically for use with large double cylinders. With 55 or 40 lbs of lift, the Classic Wing was designed to carry double steel 104’s with multiple stage bottles and other accessories. Using a horseshoe design, divers can target lift where it’s needed to balance out their rig and stay in trim.
Compared to the original “Doubles Wing” released in 1985, today’s Classic version has an enhanced construction using a premium 1000 denier ballistic nylon outerbag and a heavy duty 210 nylon laminated inner bladder. The solid center panel features two sets of 316 stainless steel grommets for mounting so a diver can tweak the wing position to adjust trim. A piece of 2-inch nylon webbing runs down the center of the Classic wing to reinforce the grommets. The Classic wing is available in all black, black with red trim, and black with blue trim.
The top outlet is centered so it’s nestled between the cylinders under the isolation valve and clear of hose routing. The wing comes standard with a 16-inch corrugated hose (12-inch available by request) with elbow attachment, a robust power inflator, and a 22-inch LP inflator hose. The pull dump over pressure valve is in the traditional lower left corner of the wing. Welded urethane bladder flanges allow easy, tool free removal and replacement of corrugated hoses and over pressurization valves. Appealing to a minimalist diving philosophy, the Classic wing is free of any bungee, tabs, or excess clutter.
Like all of Dive Rite’s aircells since 1985, the Classic wing is proudly designed and produced in the USA.
