The Redwing is a central element of the BUDDY modular system giving you the capability to upgrade your sport jacket to a technical configuration by adding an extra 22.5 kg of redundant buoyancy in a self-contained unit.
Designed to be used by a wetsuited technical diver or for drysuited cold water dives deeper than 70m.
The Redwing has its own inflation and hose exhaust – independent of the jacket bcd. These are situated in the same hose assembly offering one-handed operation of both functions. There is a second manual dump valve at the kidney and third o.p. valve at the rear top.
The Redwing is fully compatible with both new BUDDY jackets – the Commando and the Explorer. It sits between the waistcoat jacket and the cylinders and is fitted by a simple re-threading of the existing backpack webbing. Two welded stainless steel 50mm D rings provide secure rear anchor points for side mounted travel and decompression cylinders.
The Redwing allows for extra trimming possibilities to achieve a relaxed head up surface support position regardless of the cylinder configuration. |
