For spring 2010 Silent Planet has commissioned a limited number of unique Halcyon Shoulder Bags.
- These are modeled on the Explorer Bellows Pocket, and have all the same features – bungee loops both in the bag and in the zip pocket of the flap for clipping off your keys and other necessaries.
- The deceptively cavernous bag also features an inner pocket large enough for an A5 notebook.
- The shoulder strap is standard-issue Halcyon harness webbing and incorporates a D-ring secured by a metal slider for left-hand clipping off.
- This D-ring is reversible and so can be moved over to the other side of the webbing should team protocol require the D-ring to be on the right-hand side.
Why go with sub-standard, flimsy bags with gimmicky features that may fail at critical moments when you can have a robust, no-nonsense piece of kit that you can depend on when the going gets tough?
The bags retail at £67 (the same price as an Explorer bellows pocket) and are available from UK Halcyon retailers.
Until 31st January 2010 you can buy a new Eclipse Infinity System for the price of a standard wing system for £535. The normal price is £610 – you save £75. The system includes:
- Eclipse wing with a choice of 30lb or 40lb lift
- Choice of stainless steel or aluminium backplate
- Single tank adaptor
- Free Cinch adjustable harness upgrade
- Free Deluxe harness padding
Plus we have two further offers, giving you a total saving of £210 or 30%!

8.5L 232 bar twins
Have you ever wanted a smaller twinset with higher volume?
Well now you can!
Silent Planet have started distributing twin 8.5L 232 bar steel cylinders. These are the same height as 12L cylinders but with the diameter of 7L, and weigh 10.5kg each – about the same as a 300 bar 7L, but with none of the gas compressibility loss and filling issues associated with 300 bar cylinders.
- Twin 8.5’s with Halcyon manifold SRP £531.00
- Twin 8.5’s with standard manifold SRP £496.00
232 bar 8.5L twins – as slim as 7’s, as long as 12’s, as much gas as twin 7 300’s
After to the popularity of our 80cf cylinder offer held last month, we have decided to give the same offer for 7L cylinders. Until the end of November any 7L cylinder purchased will also include a free rigging kit (worth £46).
You can choose from Halcyon or standard valves.

The highest priorities of Halcyon Manufacturing are the quality of our products and the safety of our customers. Information regarding the voluntary recall of select Overpressure Relief Valve (OPV) Springs is detailed below.
Halcyon Manufacturing Inc. initiated a voluntary recall of select wings manufactured between January, 2006 and September, 2008. In addition, select Halcyon inflatable devices (Lift Bags, SMB’s, DAM’s, Surf Shuttles and Diver Lift rafts) may also be affected.
These BCDs or Inflatable Devices could develop excessive corrosion or rusting problems with the stainless steel Over Pressure Valve (OPV) spring, causing the spring to fail and the BCD or Inflatable Device to leak through the OPV. It is unlikely that most of these units will experience any problems since the potential defect is limited to a very small portion of the total number of OPV springs used during this time period. However, given the potentially serious implications all OPV springs should be checked to minimize risk or inconvenience to Halcyon customers.
BCDs manufactured after September, 2008 are not included in this voluntary recall. Please reference press release and website information for details on how to identify the BCD serial number. Inflatable Devices do not have serial numbers and should be checked based on customer purchase date if possible. If there is any doubt as to the serial number or date of purchase, Halcyon recommends inspecting the OPV spring at the request of the customer.
Worldwide Halcyon distributors will be initiating a similar inspection and replacement process through their dealer networks. Halcyon Manufacturing, Inc in High Springs Florida will also inspect those BCD’s or Inflatables sent directly to our facility, replace the OPV spring if necessary and provide free return shipping to the customer.
We apologize for this inconvenience and encourage Halcyon BCD and Inflatable owners with questions to contact their local Halcyon retailer, Silent Planet or Halcyon Tech Services directly.
Detailed images and video clips to aid in evaluation and replacement can be found on the Halcyon website: www.halcyon.net/opv-recall
