The Red Hat Diving Maximus wing system , the new breed of wing style BCD,  designed to meet today's style of diving. The stainless or aluminium (optional) back plate combines with harness and bladder (wing) to create a fully-functional BCD with excellent and flexible buoyancy, proper trim, suitable weight, efficient propulsion and integrated life support. With pockets and other accessories to tailor it to your exact requirements from a lightweight travel wing to a 90lb double bladder wing there is a package for you.

Now integrated with the Sopras Sub range of wings to offer even greater choice and versatility.

See independent review from a respected journalist for an article in Scottish Diver

Features

  • Padded  back plate, double mounting slot, crotch strap, perimeter mounting holes,  A choice of anodised colours on the aluminium backplate.

  • The stainless plate provides around 6 lbs of non-detachable weight evenly distributed across the divers’ back.

  • Heavy-duty shoulder straps in combination with optional chest strap allow infinite adjustability. 

  • 316 stainless D-rings. (aluminium on the Granat travel wing)

  • Two dump valves located at the bottom, rear of the horseshoe bladder. One on the 30lb doughnut bladder.

  • Adjustable waist band with  a quick release, stainless buckle provides.

  • Lift Capacity: 30lb, 50lb, 66lb, 66lb double, 90 lb or 90lb double.

  • 1680 Denier Nylon backed to prevent abrasion and punctures. 1500 denier cordura on the Sopras Sub 60 and 60+60

  • You choose, type of harness, (Base, Sport or Premium) type of back plate, size of wing.

  • Available as extra, Cargo and weight pockets

  • The unique elastomeric bands (use is optional) assist in deflation, but still allow the diver to orally inflate the BC. Sopras Sub have silicone tubing. Optional for the Red Hat Diving wings.
  • Bands evenly compress the BC, eliminating the massive airshift associated with non-banded BCs that typically occurs when changing body plane.
  • Typically retract the BC to a width less than the divers’ shoulders, greatly reducing Drag and Snag potential.
  • By adding or eliminating bands in different parts of the BC, the diver can adjust:
    1. Lateral trim to compensate for stage bottles, cameras, etc.
    2. Horizontal trim e.g. head up, down or level.
