Hydrolite BCD
Mountaineering Style Harness A mountaineering backpack style harness keeps the rig stable and guarantees that the Hydro Lite is as comfortable out of the water as it is in it. On land the harness is designed to distribute the load to the hips and alleviate added stress to the back and shoulders. Standard 2-inch waist and shoulder webbing allows the diver to add or remove any D-rings or accessories to customize the BCD. Adjustable quick release straps and integrated chest strap make getting in and out of the harness a snap. For added stability the harness features a 1.5” crotch strap. Four 2” D-rings are located on the chest and waist belt. An integrated lumbar pad, hip pads, and shoulder pads are included for additional comfort. Available in five harness sizes S-XXL with quick adjustability for in-between sizes.
Streamlined Aircell An integrated 30 lb lift aircell provides the ideal amount of lift for a diver, tank, and weights, while maintaining a streamlined shape. Positioned for perfect trim, the 360-degree oval shape hugs the cylinder preventing the aircell from “tacoing” around the tank and trapping air. The Hydro Lite uses a “rapid exhaust” power inflator assembly on the left shoulder and an over-pressure valve with pull dump on the lower left of the wing. Extremely rugged, the Hydro Lite aircell is designed for the long-term using a 600 denier polyester material outerbag and a 210 denier nylon laminated inner bladder.
Dual Tank Straps For added stability the Hydro Lite features dual tank straps, as well as a tank height adjustment strap. The top tank strap is Dive Rite’s 2” stainless steel non-marring roller buckle cam strap. The bottom strap is a quick adjust hook-and-loop retainer designed to provide additional tank stability while reducing overall weight.
The FT1 Regulator is perfect for the diver who values streamlining for their own diving pleasure as well as to protect the environment. Worn a bit differently than standard recreational regulators, the FT1 Regulator set places the primary regulator on a longer hose that is stowed neatly under the divers arm. The primary regulator is typically the regulator an out of air diver will reach for in an emergency and the longer hose allows both divers comfort during descent. The secondary second stage is stowed on a necklace where it can be easily reached by the donating diver.
A right angle adapter on the primary regulator provides comfort and proper hose routing. Gauges can be clipped to a belt, BCD or worn through the epaulet for easier viewing.
