doubles wing for DH, which one(s) "work"?

I've been looking a bit, and now that I was able to get a single post AL/USD Navy doubles manifold, I want to find a wing that will play nicely. Almost all I have come across have the LPI in the center, so I'm just not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling. With the VDH back plate being worn as low as you are supposed to, I'm looking at twinning a pair of AL63's. Should keep trim okay (I'm really tall - 6'-7").

I have found one wing by DR, but curious if others have found different ones. Thanks.

This is a system that was conceived by Luis. Using a simple harness, the wing, in this case a Zeagle Express Tech with a 24# lift, is attached directly to the cylinders via 4 nylon straps. The straps are velcro closed which facilitates easy operation. The pictures below show the wing on a set of Al 45s.

I moved the hose from the center to the side on a wing and plugged the center hole.

I've been looking at the OxyCheq 30# Vertex Rebreather Wing for a small doubles set-up. The inflator hose appears to be mounted a little to the left.

I've no actual experience with it, but it appears to be usable with a DH reg.

Try the wings by OMS. Their inflator hoses are off center and can be used on either side. I have not tried mine with the VDH plate though, but dont see an issue. The Dive Rite wings also look like they would work well
