Halcyon ERA Wing – A New Standard for Buoyancy Control

From Evolution to Revolution: The Halcyon Era Wing sets a new standard for buoyancy control introducing a new generation of wings. The ERA strengthens Halcyon’s reputation of over thirty years for quality and technological innovation, while offering several key differences from traditional wing designs.

• Era Wing for single-cylinder diving
• Available lift capacities: 30lbs or 40lbs
• Inflator with 52cm / 22 LP hose comes standard on Halcyon wings

Key Features of the Halcyon ERA Wing

There are key differences that set the Halcyon ERA wing apart from the others:

• Revolutionary Shape:

  The most notable feature is a new bladder and outer shell geometry. The ERA’s “revolutionary shape” marks a departure from the traditional, long, narrow profile of the Eclipse. The new bladder geometry is specifically engineered for better air distribution and trim control. This design aims to distribute air more efficiently, especially in the lower part of the wing.

  The intention is to generate additional lift where it’s most beneficial, helping a diver achieve and maintain a horizontal trim position more easily. This improved trim reduces drag and conserves energy during a dive.

• Integrated Weight Pockets (Opti-Weight Pockets):

  The ERA wing features four zippered weight pockets built directly into the outer shell. The ERA’s integrated pockets provide a more streamlined and “built-in” solution for trim weights. Each pocket can hold up to 1kg (2.2lbs).

  These pockets are designed for fine-tuning trim and balance, rather than carrying the bulk of a diver’s weight, which should be placed on the tank or torso. This offers a more streamlined and precise way to manage weight distribution.

• Smart Hose Routing:

  The wing features dual hose openings, a design proven in Halcyon’s double-tank system The Legend. This helps keep hoses and accessories clean and neat, preventing tangles or snags.

• Compact Profile:

  A new low-profile elbow on the inflator hose fits snugly against the tank. This creates more space for the diver’s head and reduces strain on the corrugated hose fitting, resulting in a more comfortable and streamlined profile.

• Lift Capacities:

  The ERA wing is available in two lift capacities: 30 lbs and 40 lbs, catering to different diving configurations and requirements.
