Hydros Core BPI Black

Description

No integrated weight system and no trim pockets, and the omission is deliberate. Stripping both out is what makes this the least bulky thing in the bag for a diver already on a weight belt. Shoulder and waist straps fold into the wing, so it travels without a dedicated bag, and non-absorbent materials mean it can be rinsed after the last dive of a trip and packed the same evening. The air cell gives 30 pounds of lift, near 13.6 kilograms, in dope-dyed 500 denier Cordura on a full-donut Cross Flow shape, so it stays compact under water and still floats a diver high at the surface. The backplate is dual-compound, a rigid core under an over-moulded Monprene exterior. A single stainless Super Cinch buckle backed by five soft X-Grips on the tank plate holds the cylinder. Tri-Bungee two-stage inflation and a balanced power inflator control where the air sits. Four size bands cover XS to XXL. It suits a weight-belt diver who travels light.
