The AP Travelwing is made from the same unique lightweight materials sourced to produce the popular Commando Escape travel bcd - a combination of the toughest available laminated 1000 denier Cordura on the pockets and exterior panels while the wing itself is welded using high spec 800 denier - OceanSeal800 - which is twice as durable as most other bcds on the market, travel or otherwise
The Travelwing weighs-in at a flight-friendly sub-3kg
It comes with integrated weight pouches as standard - which hold up to 5kg each (11lb) solid or shot lead (i.e. 10kg total) and are secured with a 25mm buckle and large velcro flap
All-in-all, the new Travelwing is a lightweight package that delivers the high performance, quality and comfort expected of all AP BCDs
Max Lift: 14.5kg (140N) Dry Weight: 2.7kg (S/M), 2.9kg (L/XL)
Stowage Pockets: If the weight pouches are removed and the pockets used for stowage instead, the capacity per pocket is either 1.5 litres each or 3 litres (204mm x 18mm x 90mm) if folded out to full size (see images)
Available in 2 sizes - S/M and L/XL [Note: the wing and harness are the same size for both but there are 2 sizes of waist cummerbund]
The weight pouch features the familiar AP chunky grips for easy and secure weight handling
These pockets can be converted to spacious 3 litre cargo pockets as an alternate use if integrated weights are not to your taste
Also included as standard is the time-proven integrated shoulder dump which dumps air at a slower rate than the other two dump valves, making it ideal for fine-tune buoyancy control (with one hand)
With our usual attention to detail, we have included our innovative, easy-to-locate floating dump valve knob on the lower rear valve
The one at the chest is made from negatively buoyant material, again, for ease of location
The Travelwing is extremely comfortable with or without a suit, with very generous padding at shoulders, waist and back
It also features a cummerbund that is size adjustable at front and rear to perfect the fit. The waistband can be tightened with either hand from either side
The Travelwing offers 14.5kg of lift and features muliple lightweight anodised aluminium D rings (4x50mm prebent rings on the waist and 3x25mm on the shoulders) plus the usual two, very useful, 25mm internal pocket D rings
A hose-retaining clip adds to this hardware offering efficient equipment management
The Travelwing has a neat rubber and webbing carry-handle at the rear, a cylinder-retaining strap and a single cylinder camband, which solidly secures all single cylinder sizes up 15 litres
