Product Overview
The Dive Rite Classic XT is a dedicated twin-cylinder wing, available with a single or dual bladder.

Compatibility & Options
These bundles are intended for an existing, correctly assembled twinset with compatible cylinder bands and mounting studs spaced 11 inches apart.
Before ordering a bundle, confirm your cylinder configuration, mounting-stud thread and usable stud length with us so the correct fittings can be supplied.
Bundles require assembly, harness threading, adjustment and compatibility checks before use. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions and seek assistance if you are unfamiliar with assembling this equipment.
For the dual-bladder version, suitable regulator connections and an appropriate independent inflation arrangement are required. Two bladders do not provide independent redundancy when both are supplied solely from the same first stage.
