Hollis DT50 Wing: Master Your Cold Water Trim
Diving in cold water with heavy steel cylinders and a thick drysuit requires a specific kind of buoyancy control. The Hollis DT 50 Wing is built exactly for this purpose. Unlike wings designed for warm water or aluminum tanks, the DT 50 focuses on the needs of the dedicated technical diver who faces heavier gear loads and demanding environments.
Tapered for Perfect Balance
Managing heavy steel doubles can make staying horizontal difficult, as the weight tends to drag your lower body down. Hollis solved this with a unique 360-degree tapered profile. This design concentrates more lift towards the hips and less near the shoulders. This shift in buoyancy helps lift your heavy tanks at the bottom, promoting a flat, streamlined horizontal trim underwater while still keeping your head high and dry at the surface.
Built for Abuse
Technical diving environments—from rusty wrecks to sharp cave walls—can destroy lesser gear. This wing features a two-piece design with an outer shell constructed from HD Laminated 1680D Cordura nylon. This armor protects the inner 420-denier nylon bladder from abrasion and punctures. Maintenance is also straightforward; the welded flange and one-piece retainer allow you to service the wing without needing specialized tools.
Versatile Configuration
Even if you primarily dive doubles, sometimes a single tank dive is on the schedule. The DT 50 includes integrated tank slots, allowing you to strap a single cylinder directly to the wing without needing a heavy Single Tank Adapter (STA). This reduces your travel weight and simplifies your gear locker.
Streamlined Hose Management
A cluttered rig is a hazard. The DT 50 uses a central elbow connection to keep the inflator hose away from your tank valves and first stage regulators, ensuring clean routing. The K-style inflator comes with a rugged, crushproof rubber hose that is easy to position for oral inflation. When you need to vent gas while swimming horizontally or heads-down, the lower-left pull relief valve is easy to locate and operate.
