the new BUDDY Tekwing

The BUDDY Tekwing is our new extended range package.

It features a new backpack which gives you the option of fitting two twin-set bands, top and bottom, which retain the cylinders as firmly as steel bands with the advantage that they are easier to pack for travel and they are easily adjustable to suit other diameter cylinders.

 


The Tekwing provides 22.5kg of buoyancy with the option of adding a further 22.5kg BUDDY Redwing to the configuration to make a redundant buoyancy system.

The harness features 4 welded stainless steel D-rings (more may be added) which can be moved to the ideal position. Further D-rings on the wings allow easy attachment of side-mounted stage cylinders - particularly when used with BUDDY Verti-Clips which hold the D-ring rigid at a right-angle to the jacket for simple one-handed attachment or release of dog-clips.

Waist-band slots are fitted either side of the wing to prevent 'tank-wrap' when used with a single cylinder. Two-band crotch straps are fitted to eliminate 'ride-up' on inflation of the wing.

The Tekwing features an over-pressure valve and two dump-valves - one at the kidney and an AP31 dumping elbow at the shoulder which is integral to the corrugated hose/inflator assembly.

The AP200 power inflator has the same hose connection as the AP400 drysuit inflator and the BUDDY Inspiration diluent inflator.

One size fits all.

Black with fluorescent Red gusset.

 

 Options include:

 

With or without emergency mini-cylinder (DIN or Int A-clamp Standard 232 bar 0.4 litre - International spec mini-cylinders available). Optional 300 bar DIN also available. Blanking plate is available if used without mini-cylinder.

AP200 power inflator or Auto Air (power inflator / emergency jacket breathing / spare-air demand valve - EN250 rated)

BK15 (5.5" diam.cyl.bands)

BK16 (7" diam. for 10 or 12 ltr cyls.)

BK17 (8" diam. for 15 ltr cyls.)

Single cylinder cam band fits all up to 15 litre (8" diam.) cylinders.

(Longer twinset or single bands are available to order.)

 

Additional D-rings may be fitted in several ways:

Either sown on by request at the factory, fitted to any area of 50mm webbing by means of a BK31 Vert-Clip, or by adding a BK30 D-ring + webbing loop which are designed to be threaded onto the waistband so that the D-ring hangs approx. 5" below.

Additional pockets may be added (threaded onto harness and/or waistband):

Waistband Cargo pockets (2 sizes)

Top-loading / bottom opening weight release pockets as fitted to the BUDDY Trident

Zippered + velcroed double-opening front pouch as fitted to the BUDDY Trident
