Nomad XT Wing

#BC4600, #BC4550-DUAL

For divers who already have a TransPac harness and wish to build a Nomad or for the Nomad diver who wants the new SuperFabric technology, the Nomad XT is what you're looking for. The Nomad XT wing has a super-tough exterior engineered using SuperFabric® brand technology for optimum resistance to punctures and abrasions, while remaining very flexible.

With 50lbs/22.6 kg* of lift, the Nomad XT can be a single (BC4600) or dual bladder (BC4550-DUAL) wing. Its unique bladder design allows a single bladder Nomad XT to be altered to become a dual bladder wing at a later date, if desired.

The 15-mil urethane bladder is abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and resists the growth of microorganisms. Choice of 16-inch or 12-inch elbow corrugated hose along with 15-inch, 22-inch or 27-inch low-pressure inflation hose. Made in the U.S.A.

If building your own Nomad Sidemount Rig, you'll want to make sure [continued]

you have a buttplate, 2-inch crotch strap and bungees. Tank chokers make attaching sidemount tanks easier and if desired, please order the corresponding bungee length (see our Nomad XT Sidemount Rig Tech Specs for suggestions).

*As of July 1, 2011 lift measurement on all Dive Rite wings has been revised to reflect the most recent lift testing based on European CE requirements. Please note the wing itself has not changed.
