Any comments or opinions? To be used with a single 12 mostly; twin 7's/10's a future possibility. Thanks :)
My other half uses a tekwing light with twin 7s and with singles and rates it very highly.
They seem well made and well thought out - perhaps a little "strappy" - i.e. various adjustable straps in different places, however, it is possible to reduce/adjust these to a large extent. Seems to work perfectly well with single cylinders and is very well suited to twin 7s. Can't really see a problem with 10s but you may wish to more fully consider the strength of the backplate. No pockets or storage if this bothers you.
Quite heavy (despite the light name) - I think 3 to 4 kgs, but I think this is also testimony to its durability etc.
The optional integrated weight system is neat.
The tekwing (non "light" version) is considerably larger and not, in my opinion, well suited to single cylinders.
Hope this helps.

i have used single 12 on the big tekwing it was alright but the boyancy is abit overkill i have recently brought the tekwing lite to use with my single 12 and even anywhere upto twin 12s as i have seen used previously(when i feel the need to go over to twins)
i would rate them both very highly very very well made and i like the addition of all the addable things (if thats a word) like the auto air or the intergrated weights
thanks
