The BUDDY Tekwing Lite (18.26kg) is a compact and lighter version of the Tekwing offering the same spec and options with a smaller wing.
Ideal for the traveling diver
Key Features and Options:
The Tekwing Lite provides 17.5kg of buoyancy.
The new element ::backpack and all its advantages of comfort and fit.
The harness features 2 welded stainless steel D-rings (more may be added) which can be moved to the ideal position. Two further D-rings on the wings allow easy attachment of side-mounted stage cylinders - particularly when used with BUDDY Verti-Clips which hold the D-ring rigid at a right-angle to the jacket for simple one-handed attachment or release of dog-clips.
Waist-band slots are fitted either side of the wing to prevent 'tank-wrap' when used with a single cylinder. Two-band crotch straps are fitted to eliminate ride-up on inflation of the wing.
The Tekwing Lite features an over-pressure valve and two dump-valves - one at the kidney and an AP31 dumping elbow at the shoulder which is integral to the corrugated hose/inflator assembly.
The AP200 power inflator has the same hose connection as the AP400 drysuit inflator and the BUDDY Inspiration diluent inflator.
One size fits all.
