WTX PSD Armorguard Wing by Apeks
Apeks WTX PSD Armorguard Wing: Built for the Hazmat Zone
Public Safety Divers face environments that would ruin standard recreational gear in a single dive. Whether you are searching in contaminated water or working in heavy silt, you need equipment that cleans up easily and resists bacteria. The Apeks WTX PSD Armorguard Wing is engineered specifically for these hazardous missions, available in both 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 40 lb (18.1 kg) lift capacities to match your specific cylinder configuration.
The Armorguard Advantage
Standard nylon absorbs water, oil, and chemicals, which can lead to rot and bacterial growth. This wing features an Armorguard exterior, a slick-skin material that is significantly more abrasion-resistant than Cordura. Most importantly, it is fast-drying and does not absorb water. If you can't rinse your gear immediately after a call, this material won't pick up foul odors or harbor bacterial growth, keeping your kit safer for the next deployment.
Rapid Control
In emergency situations, you need immediate control over your buoyancy. The airway system utilizes an 18-inch (45.7 cm) round spiral hose equipped with a rapid exhaust dump valve. This "cable pull" mechanism allows you to dump air instantly from the top of the wing by simply pulling on the inflator, letting you react fast without breaking your trim.
Stable and Secure
The single-cylinder donut shape creates a continuous loop of air, preventing gas from getting trapped on one side and ensuring you stay balanced underwater. To keep your tank firmly in place, the wing includes tank stabilizer bars that nest the cylinder deep and secure.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Inside the tough shell lies a 22 mil (.022 inch) thick black urethane bladder, protected by a heavy-duty YKK #10 zipper. Water drainage is handled efficiently by a central mesh panel and two large grommets, ensuring the wing drains instantly when you exit the water.
