Ladies if you are looking for a great weight integrated, Hybrid Jacket Inflation BC for more advanced scuba diving the Aeris Contour is it. This BC offers great Form and Function specifically for Women and was designed from the ground up just for you! - Joe
Women’s-Specific Design. Maybe you have checked out womens specific BCD's before at your local shop but never really got what the hype was about. Sure they have different graphics and size ranges, but what is the real advantage of a women’s-specific BC?
The Contour is built from the ground up for you designed specifically around the female form with ample adjustments to make it your own, without sacrificing features and functionality. This may just be the most comfortable, best fitting BC you've ever worn.
- Patented Hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs
- Patented Custom Fit Harness with multi-position shoulder strap that delivers individual comfort for women of all sizes
- QLR Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 20 lbs. plus dual 5 lbs. rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
- Contoured over the hip for added comfort
- Weight pockets are loaded positioned at a slight downward angle to aid self-loading
- Reinforced shoulders, padded back pack and an adjustable position sternum strap ensure comfort and stability
- Pre-bent welded stainless steel d-rings
- Integrated instrument retractor mount (retractor not included) and Silverjack BC Knife mounting grommets
Patented QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System
AERIS’ patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System is standard equipment on the Contour. Your weights stay in position throughout the dive and do not shift around affecting buoyancy or position in the water. The individual 10 lbs. weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release. Best of all, our patented "positive-lock" system helps to ensure that they’ll stay put.
Rear "Trim" Weight Pockets
Located on the back of the harness. Provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 10 non-dumpable pounds.
Hybrid Air Cell
The innovative design of the Contour allows the freedom of movement and other benefits you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wrap-around design of the air cell provides you more lift than most BCÆs; as well as an improved, upright orientation when the BC is inflated and you are on the surface.
Fadeless 1000 Denier Cordura« Construction
Exterior abrasion points of the Contour are covered in our new "Fadeless" 1000-denier Cordura« - tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that "new look" longer.
Pre-Bent Stainless Steel D-rings
Welded and slightly bent for easy, one-handed attachment.
Silverjack BC Knife / Integrated Retractor Mounting Grommets
A pair of stainless steel grommets on both the left and right pocket panels keep your Silverjack BC Knife and Integrated Retractor out of the way but just where you want them.
Oversized Quick-Release Adjustment Buckles
The Contour LX’s extra-strength harness is outfitted with 2" quick release buckles for easy adjustment, even with thick gloves.
A3 Integrated Inflator
Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents.
Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund
AERIS’s patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. AERIS’s cummerbund offers up to 8" of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size.
Padded Backpack and Additional Lumbar Support
Extra heavy duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack.
Oversized Pockets
Zippered so it’s easy to get into. For fast and easy access to accessory items like signaling devices, reels or a spare mask.
Optional Air Link Alternate Inflator
The Air Link combines the reliability, performance and durability of an octopus and power inflator into one very low profile, streamlined package. The regulator/inflator combination is as small as many BC inflators alone, with breathing performance superior to many stand-alone octopus regulators.
