The XDeep STEALTH 2.0 TEC RB Wing is a highly specialized sidemount buoyancy compensator (BCD) designed for the most demanding technical and cave diving environments, particularly those involving deep decompression and multiple cylinders. The "TEC" signifies its technical focus, and "RB" denotes its redundant bladder system.

 

XDeep STEALTH 2.0 TEC Redundant Bladder Wing

Key Features:

  • Redundant Bladder (RB): This is a critical safety feature. The TEC RB version incorporates two independent, fully functional buoyancy bladders within the single, streamlined wing. Each bladder has its own K-Type inflator and dump valve, providing a complete backup buoyancy system. This is essential for dives where a loss of buoyancy could be catastrophic, such as deep decompression or extensive overhead environments.
  • High Lift Capacity: With 19 kg (42 lbs) of lift, the TEC RB wing is specifically designed to support the numerous and often heavy cylinders required for deep, multi-stage technical dives. Despite this high lift, it maintains an incredibly streamlined profile.
  • Optimized for Technical Diving:
    • Multi-Chamber Design: The internal design ensures that gas movement within the wing is managed effectively, maintaining stability and trim regardless of inflation level, even with multiple cylinders.
    • Central Dump Valve: Positioned in the center of the wing, the dump valve is easily accessible with either hand, allowing for precise buoyancy control without disrupting trim – crucial during critical decompression stops or in confined spaces.
    • Reinforced Upper Part: The upper back of the wing is reinforced to withstand abrasion and snagging in tight wreck passages or cave restrictions.
  • Integrated with STEALTH 2.0 Harness: The TEC RB wing is designed to be seamlessly integrated and fixed to the renowned XDeep STEALTH 2.0 harness.
    • Anatomical and Adjustable Harness: The harness features varying webbing stiffness (stiff for the waist to keep D-rings in place, softer for shoulders for comfort and movement). It allows for independent adjustment of shoulder and waist straps for a customized fit.
    • Movable D-rings: On the waist strap, these allow divers to fine-tune cylinder positioning and trim, even when using buoyant mixes or carrying multiple stage bottles.
  • Modular Weight System: The STEALTH 2.0's unique modular weight system allows for precise weight placement to achieve perfect balance and trim, even with up to 25 kg of weight. The central weight pocket can be easily moved to optimize the diver's center of gravity. The system is designed for secure weight retention, minimizing the risk of accidental weight loss.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh technical diving conditions:
    • Outer Shell: Cordura 1100 dTEX, a highly abrasion-resistant fabric.
    • Inner Bladder: Nylon 440 dTEX with a 0.215mm TPU coating for excellent puncture resistance.
    • High-Quality Components: Features "K" type inflators, ultrasonic welding, HF welding, laser-cut fabric, Amann Serabond thread, and triple, fully trimmed seams.

Specifications:

  • Buoyancy: 19 kg (42 lbs) per bladder (redundant system).
  • BCD Type: Sidemount BCD, fixed to the harness.
  • Construction: Double shell with two fully functional bladders.
  • Dry BC weight (without harness): Approximately 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs).
  • Outer Shell Fabric: Cordura 1100 dTEX.
  • Inner Bladder Fabric: Nylon 440 dTEX with TPU 0.215mm coating.
  • Inflator Type: K-Type.
  • Supply Pressure: Between 6 bar and 17.23 bar (250 PSI).
  • Recommended Maximum Cylinders: Up to 8 (steel or aluminum in sidemount configuration).
  • Operating Temperature (Water): to .
  • Operating Temperature (Air): to .

Differences from other STEALTH 2.0 models:

  • Compared to Classic RB (16 kg): The TEC RB offers significantly more lift (19 kg vs 16 kg), making it suitable for more extensive multi-cylinder configurations and deeper decompression dives. While both have redundant bladders, the TEC is designed for heavier loads.
  • Compared to REC RB (13 kg): The TEC RB has substantially more lift than the REC RB (19 kg vs 13 kg) and is built for technical diving requirements with multiple stage bottles, whereas the REC RB is tailored for recreational sidemount with redundant buoyancy (typically 2 cylinders). The TEC's harness is also more oriented towards a "DIR-style" no-break-point setup for maximum security in technical diving, unlike the REC's quicker release buckles for ease of donning/doffing in recreational settings.

The XDeep STEALTH 2.0 TEC RB Wing is lauded by technical instructors and divers for its superior lift, streamlining, durability, and the crucial safety net provided by its redundant buoyancy system.
