Interesting that initially seemed interest in my WR-1 wing, now fallen off - in spite of great review [from me!]. I recently visited Custom Divers, who made the WR-1 for Ralf Tech - they have a goodie range of high quality wings, lightest [and yes, I was tempted!] weighs in at 3.5kgs, looks great for travel - but I am very attached now to the WR-1 - OK, a little heavy but the weight goes into things like double tank straps with stainless steel clamps and an assortment of SS fittings that are handy to have, and sure I will expand into them + the wing is a one size adaptable to all just by pulling the 2 D rings. More importantly, it's a great performance, the only padding [at the back] becomes buoyancy neutral once wet, and my last dive was with 1x 4lb. lump of lead only [5mm top, 15L tank, warm water]. Well, I'm impressed, and looking forward to the next trip!
One reservation - there seemed a little air that I had to work to move, apparently not unusual with wings - no problem with right shoulder up I'm told - when can I try, is my only gripe!
