Key Features and Innovations of the ERA Wing

There are key differences that set the Halcyon ERA wing apart from the others:

• Revolutionary Shape:

  The most notable feature is a new bladder and outer shell geometry. The ERA's "revolutionary shape" marks a departure from the traditional, long, narrow profile of the Eclipse. The new bladder geometry is specifically engineered for better air distribution and trim control. This design aims to distribute air more efficiently, especially in the lower part of the wing.
  
  The intention is to generate additional lift where it's most beneficial, helping a diver achieve and maintain a horizontal trim position more easily. This improved trim reduces drag and conserves energy during a dive.

• Integrated Weight Pockets (Opti-Weight Pockets):

  The ERA wing features four zippered weight pockets built directly into the outer shell. The ERA's integrated pockets provide a more streamlined and "built-in" solution for trim weights. Each pocket can hold up to 1kg (2.2lbs). These pockets are designed for fine-tuning trim and balance, rather than carrying the bulk of a diver's weight, which should be placed on the tank or torso. This offers a more streamlined and precise way to manage weight distribution.
  
  

• Smart Hose Routing:

  The wing features dual hose openings, a design proven in Halcyon's double-tank system – The Legend. This helps keep hoses and accessories clean and neat, preventing tangles or snags.
  
  

• Compact Profile:

  A new low-profile elbow on the inflator hose fits snugly against the tank. This creates more space for the diver's head and reduces strain on the corrugated hose fitting, resulting in a more comfortable and streamlined profile.
  
  

• Lift Capacities:

  The ERA wing is available in two lift capacities: 30lbs and 40lbs, catering to different diving configurations and requirements.

Who is Era Wing for?

• For divers who want a strong, modular foundation without the extra weight or cost—perfect for building skills and customising over time.
• New or advancing divers entering technical training
• Cost-conscious divers who still want performance and upgrade options
• Travel divers who want a lightweight, reliable system
• Divers who prefer assembling and understanding their gear firsthand

Halcyon Backplate with Cinch Harness

The Halcyon Backplate with Cinch Adjustable Harness comes with either a steel or aluminium backplate. The Halcyon’s novel cinch harness kit is factory fitted to the backplate of your choice. Now you can adjust a harness in a flash.

Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the harness in a flash without compromising the harness integrity or Halcyon’s trademark, continuous webbing.

Adjustments to the Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique assembly. You can even easily adjust the fit in or out of the water with a simple push or pull.

Halcyon backplates have been refined to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available. Small details, like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate, create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile, the precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon.

• High-grade, polished 304 stainless steel or hard-coat aluminium
• Bare backplate weight: Steel 2.22kg / Ali 0.77kg
• Size: 26cm x 39.3cm

Halcyon Single Tank Adapter

The stainless steel Halcyon Single Tank Adapter is designed to attach a backplate and single wing onto the single cylinder. The secure cam bands come with stainless steel buckles and Octogrip Pads to prevent sliding.

The Halcyon Single Tank Adapter plate itself is deep enough to add an optional weight. This optional 6lbs central weight can be removed if not required making it back to a standard single tank adapter.

Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder and Backplate Pads

Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder Pads and a Backplate Pad offer ultimate comfort while diving in thinner exposure suits.

 Adjustable Shoulder Pads feature movable Velcro tabs for a custom fit around shoulder D-ring and harness accessories (e.g. backup light).

The backplate pad also features a storage pocket allowing the diver to carry a surface marker or lift bag in a streamlined position.

Optional Halcyon ACB Weight System

The integrated Halcyon ACB Weight System pockets are an ideal solution for divers seeking quick-release weight. Each weight pocket can hold up to 5lbs/2.3kg soft or hard weights.

The vertical orientation consumes less space and the side release buckle prevents accidental weight loss but can be quickly released. The removable weight pouch features an easy-carry handle.

A simple tri-glide connection secures the ACB pockets (Active Control Ballast) on the harness waistband and allows the mounting of a primary light behind.
