Buddy Tekwing
The BUDDY Tekwing (26kg) is a fully customisable technical buoyancy control package with a wide range of optional features allowing you to configure the kit precisely to your needs.
Options include redundant buoyancy, weight integration, a choice of accessory stowage and pockets, emergency breathing and buoyancy systems and multiple cylinder camming and side-mounting options.
The new backplate also features double cam band slots allowing you the option of fitting two sets of twin-set cam bands top and bottom. This cylinder cam setup will retain a twinset consisting of two independent cylinders (i.e. with separate first stages rather than a manifold) as firmly and rigidly as steel bands.
BUDDY Super Cam webbing bands have the advantage over steel bands in that they are easier to pack for travel, require no tools to fit and are easily adjustable to suit other diameter cylinders.
The Tekwing provides 26kg of buoyancy with the option of adding a further 26kg BUDDY Redwing to the configuration to make a redundant buoyancy system.
Optional RRS Waistband – with the new Rapid Release System for attachment of either the new Integrated Weight pouches or Cargo Clips for accessory stowage.
The harness features 2 welded stainless steel D-rings (more may be added) which can be moved to the ideal position and 2 further D-rings on the wings for easy attachment of side-mounted stage cylinders.
Optional BUDDY Verti-Clips can be fitted to hold the D rings 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 to prevent 'tank-wrap' if the Tekwing is dived with a single cylinder.
Two-band crotch straps are fitted to eliminate ride-up on inflation of the wing.
The Tekwing features an over-pressure valve and two dump-valves - one at the kidney and the new 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 Inspiration CCR diluent inflator.
One size fits all.
Optional emergency mini-cylinder (DIN or Int A-clamp 232 bar 0.4 litre or 300 bar DIN). A blanking plate is included if used without mini-cylinder.
