I have owned many BC’s for all disciplines of diving. My Halcyon Back Plate Wng with cinch system is the top of the heap. Most Versitile and toughest - And the customer color option let’s you know which gear is yours !!!
Having had the forerunner of the Eclipse, the Pioneer for around 17 years, with a +900 dives, it broke down from (ab)use, and it was time for a new one, and so the choice was easy, to go for the Eclipse, and the first dive was great, and I stick with Halcyon for the coming years.
Love this setup, I'm a newer diver. originally I Got a Higher-end jacket style BCD. I am now getting into more Tec, / DIR/ Hogarthian diving set up and switched over the Eclipse set up. great ergonomic, simple but efficient backplate/ wing set up. i couldn't be happier with it. do yourself a favor and get one ASAP!
I started diving in 2007 and am still diving the SAME Halcyon backplate. Streamlined, strong, modular, it does it all!
15 years of diving and still going strong! When I enter the water I need the confidence to know my gear is going to work right first time, every time. Be it cruising a Caribbean reef or venturing into colder northern waters my Eclipse 30 has delivered. In addition to its robust construction, what sets it apart from other BCDs is an unparalleled attention to the detail; every nut, bolt, and strap is designed with purpose and optimized for practical use in the field Simply put, there is no better BCD on the market than a Halcyon.
