PATROL is a versatile 100% dorsal volume BCD for all types of diving, with a robust but lightweight construction at the same time (2,750 kg size M) and with little transport volume but robust and very flexible.
The harness system, completely independent of the bag, provides absolute stability of the BCD on the diver and completely frees the chest, axillary and abdominal areas from oppression due to the expansion of the bag towards the outside of the dorsal area and surrounding the bottle. Its pattern and harness layout make it 100% unisex.
Abdominal area with low profile lobes.
Dorsal air chamber with great climbing capacity (19.4 kg size M) but with an external stowage volume always contained, thanks to the elastic containment tensioners whose additional mission is to facilitate the emptying maneuver and prevent air displacement during loading. immersion that would cause instability.
The Patrol back pack is very light and semi-flexible to fulfill its function without adding weight or bulk to the set. Completely covered with a comfortable neutral buoyancy padding made of a closed cell material that prevents the accumulation of water or air and, therefore, reduces the inherent buoyancy of the vest and facilitates quick drying. Unlike many vests considered "travel", the stability of the tank under water is not compromised thanks to the configuration of the air chamber that acts as a guide for the tank.
The LAS (Lock Aid System) 2.0 weight system is now more integrated into the profile of the vest and its thickness is smaller. This system, following the Cressi tradition, guarantees the maximum ease of insertion and removal of the ballast with total safety against accidental loss, since its anchors incorporate a spring effect (patented) in anticipation of accidental snagging. Its management is extremely ergonomic and intuitive even without looking. +Info
Direct System Inflator: Double metallic filter in the air inlet under the stem and cylindrical around the valve. Very robust body and attractive design. Recalibrated inflation speed, 50% higher (traditional size M vest in 4 seconds at 1 atm). Anti-sand design with minimized mouth inflator nozzle. Push button with wide gaps with respect to its seat to avoid the blocking action of the grains of sand. Drain button sealed by a silicone washer. Inflation button integrated in the profile to avoid unwanted inflation when pulling the trachea to empty. New very resistant trachea with very progressive curvature. Integrated hose-guide clamp. +Info
New low-profile top discharge valve with non-return valve that prevents accidental water ingress.
New trachea fixing flap in thermo-rubber with embossed logo.
4 ABS rings.
"Y" hose holder.
Combination of 420D Nylon + 3 other fabrics.

Important note:
The configuration of this vest favors maximum freedom of movement, for this reason the shoulder pads are axillary and the pockets are low-profile, in order to free the chest and ventral area. The attachment of the BCD to the body must be based on the tension of the cummerbund-ventral strap assembly, while the axillary straps must be tightened only as much as necessary without reaching the limit (a common mistake in many divers), which would cause the BCD to be folded on itself. and excessively high.
