Halcyon Evolve Wing System with Adjustable Cinch Harness

Halcyon Dive Systems raised the standard for precision buoyancy control with the release of the landmark Evolve double cylinder wing system and continues to be market leader in innovation, design and durability.

The Evolve's circular (elliptic doughnut) design allows for precise control of in-water buoyancy and trim. Horizontal trim is easily accomplished through the addition of lift at the base of the cylinders.

The Evolve builds upon Halcyon's dedication to designing gear for the advanced diver. The Evolve's development team focused on improvements in stability, buoyancy and trim control. Gas trapping on one side or the other of the wing is virtually eliminated.

Technical divers depend upon the ability to control buoyancy by venting gas from both the inflator and the rear over-pressure valve. The Evolve matches the Eclipse for ease of use of the rear over-pressure valve for venting gas during the dive. Wreck divers and cavers will immediately appreciate the Evolve's ease of buoyancy adjustment.

Because the Evolve's buoyancy cell circles the tanks, the wing has a much more streamlined profile than any other doubles wing on the market. It doesn't matter if you are swimming or scootering, the Evolve's profile cuts through the water with less drag and greater efficiency.

The Evolve has been extensively tested in every possible condition, from the tropics to the arctic, with aluminum and steel cylinders, with open circuit and with rebreathers. Halcyon has worked closely with its international testing team to refine the design to create the first breakthrough in doubles wing design in decades.

HALCYON CINCH HARNESS

The Cinch redefines what it means to dive a backplate, building upon a platform of simplicity while providing unprecedented security and ease of adjustment.

Halcyon developed the Cinch to save divers time and effort while sizing, fine-tuning and resizing your diving harness. Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the Cinch in a flash; all this without compromising the harness integrity or our trademark, continuous piece of webbing.

Adjustments to the Halcyon Cinch occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique, patent pending assembly. Now divers can easily adjust the fit of their plate in or out of the water a simple push or pull is all it takes.

Components include:

• Cinch adapter plate
• Halcyon Harness Webbing
• Separate left-hip D-ring assembly
• Extension bolt
• Bolts kit four stainless steel bolts with weldmate nuts
• Right-hip light retainer assembly
• Weight pocket attachment (pair) which allow the secure harness webbing to slide freely without affecting the placement of the light, ACB or D-ring.
• Quick adjust crotch strap Bent D-rings facilitate one-handed storage of accessories like Scout lights or stage bottles

HALCYON BACKPLATE

As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we are proud to sell. Halcyon backplates have been refined over the years 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.

Each Halcyon backplate is cut from the highest quality stainless steel or har-coated aluminium and sophisticated CNC machines mill every edge; this detailed process eliminates the sharp edges common with competitors’ plates.



When you use a Halcyon backplate you know its different from the others with machine polishing augmented by individual handwork that stands out, perfecting both form and function.


• Constructed from high-grade, polished Stainless Steel or hard-coat Aluminum
• Carefully milled surfaces eliminate sharp edges

• Utility holes allow mating with Storage Pak to stow a variety of lift devices or SMB
• Stainless Steel weight: 2.7kg
• Aluminum weight: 0.9kg

What backplate to use?

While not set in stone, aluminium backplates are generally preferred by traveling or wet suit divers as they are lighter than their stainless steel counterparts. The popular backplate for dry suit diving is the stainless steel, where the additional weight is a benefit (spreading out the weight needed to compensate for buoyancy while taking it off the diver's waist). Both backplates are based on the same Halcyon design and are compatible with the Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness. Most UK divers who use dry suits prefer the SS backplate.

HALCYON MC STORAGE PAK

The Halcyon backplate pocket is the most efficient means to store any of the various Halcyon inflatable markers with ease.

Stowing your favorite lift device in a Halcyon Storage Pak provides a hassle-free storage place without compromising the ability for rapid deployment of a SMB or lift bag.
