      Description

      The Exotec-S takes the articulation a step further than the standard model by putting it in the backplate itself, which pivots at the waist and works with the body rather than holding it straight. On a long dive that shows up as freedom of movement where a rigid plate would restrict the torso. On a swim against current a fit tuned across the full size range means less drag and less energy spent holding position. On a boat deck the Wrapture harness and BioReact waist together let the diver stand upright with the cylinder weight on the hips. The bladder is Armoguard, the public safety fabric, and it does not absorb water. Everything is modular and repairable, the chest strap opens one handed on a G-Hook, and there is a gauge sleeve and an octopus pocket. It suits a diver who wants the most adjustable fit in the range.

      Features

      • Backplate: articulated, pivoting at the waist to move with the body
      • Fit: customisable across all sizes, for less drag and better energy efficiency
      • BioReact: articulating waist system, so the buoyancy compensator moves with the diver
      • Bladder: Armoguard, the same fabric used on the public safety diver range, and it does not absorb water
      • Wrapture harness: works with the BioReact waist so the diver walks upright with the cylinder weight carried on the hips
      • GripTek: fabric that holds the unit in place on the surface and underwater
      • Modular: designed to be repaired rather than replaced, with components and straps that can be changed
      • G-Hook: chest strap that opens and closes one handed
      • Gauge holder: sleeve that allows hands free reading of instruments
      • Octo pocket: dedicated sleeve holding the alternate air source in a visible position without extra clips
      • Fit: multiple adjustment points across every size
      • Colours: Grey and Orange

      • Apeks Exotec-S buoyancy compensator in the colour and size selected
