Overview
FEATURES
- Intuitive Monorail Weight System
- Weight pockets slide and lock in via a monorail system for easy single-handed operation. Simply pull the grey D-handle to release.
- Dries Quickly After Use
- The heavy-duty quick dry bladder’s Instant Dry Technology enables the BCD to dry almost instantly, making it ideal for travel due to less water retention and lower post-dive weight.
- Long-Lasting Durability
- Built to last with a fabric-free Monprene® gel harness and double-coated fabric bladder designed to resist abrasion and fading from pool chemicals, saltwater and sunlight. Anti-abrasion Cordura® fabric on the dorsal weight-wing adds further protection against abrasions.
- Lightweight Ergo-Lite Back Plate
- Lightweight Ergo-Lite back plate is 25% lighter than the Hydros Pro’s back plate and provides a body-contoured shape, soft padding, and dual top/bottom handles for easy two-handed loading.
- Comfortable, Ergonomic Design
- Body-contoured shape and 3D ergonomic design hug the body for a weightless feel. Torso flex zone automatically adjusts to your torso length for excellent comfort and freedom of movement. Unrestricted internal air-flow design reduces air trapping so you enjoy greater maneuverability and can easily deflate the BCD from any angle or position.
- Designed for Easy Tank Swapping
- Super Cinch 2 tank band is simple, ultra-durable, and incredibly easy to use and adjust. Enables fast and easy tank switches whether you’re swapping out tanks between dives or switching between aluminum 80s and steel tanks when traveling.
- Smart-Pack Design
- Smart-Pack design enables the shoulder and waist straps to be folded flat against the backpack and wrapped in the wing for easy transport and storage.
- Articulated Shoulder Straps & Kit-Up Assist
- Shoulder strap hinges lock in the open position for easy donning and then fold flat to allow the Hydros Pro 2 to pack up small for travel.
- Stays in Place During the Dive
- Body grip gel helps the BCD grip to your body, preventing shifting and riding up during the dive.
- Streamlined Construction
- Tri-bungee retraction system with 2-stage inflation allows for a more streamlined and compact air-cell underwater, providing an even air distribution and higher lift capacity at the surface.
- Neutrally Buoyant
- Near-zero inherent buoyancy means less lead and better control underwater.
- Self-Draining Weight Pockets
- Weight pockets are self-draining for an easy, hassle-free experience. Standard size holds up to 4.5 kg per pocket.
- BC-4-Life Modular Design
- With the BC-4-Life Modular Design, components are fully customizable and interchangeable, simplifying the repair process and extending the BCD’s lifespan.
- Customize with Accessories
- Multi-Mount System on the BCD includes multiple D-rings and mounting points to easily configure your BCD. Optional Multi-Mount Accessory Plates and Hydros Bungee Sets sold separately to easily attach knives, lights, pockets, SMBs, hoses and more.
