Halcyon Eclipse Deluxe Single Tank Wing System

Halcyon Eclipse Deluxe Single Tank Wing System

The Halcyon Eclipse Deluxe Single Tank Wing System is not your typical buoyancy compensator. It offers the unparalleled comfort and performance of a back-mounted harness.

Additionally, it provides the ease of adjustment of a jacket BC for single-tank divers. The system's most distinctive feature is the novel Cinch Quick-Adjust Harness. This system redefines backplate diving by delivering ultimate comfort, stability, and infinite adjustability.

Furthermore, the system features the immensely popular Halcyon Eclipse wing. Its long, narrow profile supports your tank along its entire length. Consequently, this design reduces unnecessary drag and minimises your in-water effort.

• Infinite adjustability in the blink of an eye.
• Snug, stable fit with easy system removal.
• Easily adjustable while in or out of the water.
• Easily convertible for suits of varying thickness.
• Total unit weight: Aluminium 5.0kg / Stainless Steel 6.5kg.

Halcyon Eclipse Deluxe Single Tank Wing System Includes:

• Halcyon Eclipse Wing (20lbs, 30lbs, or 40lbs) with 22" Inflator hose
• Halcyon Aluminium or Steel Backplate with Adjustable Cinch Harness
• Halcyon Single Tank Adapter with SS buckles
• Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder Pads and Deluxe Backplate Pad
• Halcyon Traverse Bag

Halcyon Eclipse Wing

The Halcyon Eclipse Wing features a doughnut-shaped, back-mounted design. This specialised shape allows divers to achieve perfect horizontal trim underwater. As a result, it reduces your in-water effort and streamlines your movement.

Moreover, you can choose from three lift capacities to maximise comfort. A circular zipper around the inside allows for easy inspection of the interior bladder. Additionally, a quick drainage system at the bottom removes water rapidly to minimise excess weight.

• Lifetime warranty on inner bladder RF-welded seams.
• Available in three lift capacities: 20lbs, 30lbs, and 40lbs.
• 1680-denier ballistic nylon outer shell and 400-denier Nylon inner bladder.

Which wing size?

The amount of lift you require depends entirely on your kit configuration. For comparison, the Eclipse 30 measures 67cm x 46cm, while the Eclipse 40 measures 70cm x 50cm.

Therefore, the 30lbs wing works best for a lighter single 12L steel cylinder. Conversely, the 40lbs wing is ideal for a heavier 15L cylinder or extra emergency lift.

Halcyon Backplate with Cinch Harness

The Halcyon Backplate with Cinch Adjustable Harness comes with either a steel or aluminium backplate. Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the harness in a flash.

Importantly, you can make these quick adjustments without compromising the harness's integrity or Halcyon’s continuous webbing. You adjust the fit by simply sliding the harness through a unique assembly. Divers can easily adjust the fit in or out of the water with a simple push or pull.

Furthermore, unique bends near the bottom of the plate create an ergonomic curve. Therefore, this small detail significantly increases diver comfort.

• High-grade, polished 304 stainless steel or hard-coat aluminium.
• Bare backplate weight: Steel is 2.22kg, while Aluminium is 0.77kg.
• Dimensions: 26cm x 39.3cm.

Which backplate to use?

Generally, travelling or wetsuit divers prefer the lighter aluminium backplate. Conversely, drysuit divers often choose a stainless steel backplate. The additional steel weight helpfully takes bulk off your waist.

Halcyon Single Tank Adapter

The stainless steel Halcyon Single Tank Adapter securely attaches your backplate to a single cylinder. Premium cam bands feature stainless steel buckles and Topogrip Pads to prevent sliding.

Moreover, the deep plate accommodates an optional central weight. You can easily remove this extra 6lbs central weight when you do not require it.

Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder and Backplate Pads

Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder Pads and a Backplate Pad offer ultimate comfort in thinner exposure suits. Movable Velcro tabs provide a custom fit around your shoulder D-ring and harness accessories.

Additionally, the backplate pad features an integrated storage pocket. This handy pocket allows you to carry a surface marker or lift bag in a streamlined position.

Optional Halcyon ACB Weight Pockets

The integrated Halcyon ACB Weight Pockets offer an ideal solution for quick-release weight. Each pocket holds up to 5lbs/2.3kg of soft or hard ballast.

Because of its vertical orientation, this system takes up less space on your waist. Finally, a simple tri-glide connection secures the Active Control Ballast pockets perfectly behind your primary light.

What is the difference between a wing and a BCD?

The low-drag wing design distributes air evenly across the diver's back, keeping the wing portion of the compensator unobtrusive and providing exceptional streamlining during a dive.

There are no air-inflated side panels or pockets as on traditional 'jacket-type' BCs, which avoid the "legs down" position often caused by air on the sides and front of the diver.

There are no restrictions on the diver's chest, making it very comfortable with no chest compression and allowing one size to fit all without hassle.

The advantages of a wing system over a "jacket type" BC are numerous. The Halcyon Eclipse Wing System depends on a one-piece webbing harness looped through a sturdy aluminium or stainless steel backplate that should last many lifetimes.

Once donned, a webbing crotch strap can be utilised to keep the whole system in place with minimum movement.

The continuous loop harness stops the annoying lack of control common with standard buoyancy compensators. Once the suit is fitted to your size and fit, nothing can break or come loose.
