Apeks Exotec BCD Features and Benefits
- BioReact Articulating Waist System – Allows natural movement and better comfort.
- GripTek Fabric – Keeps the BCD secure on the surface and underwater.
- Armoguard Bladder Material – Offers better abrasion resistance, faster drying, and less bacterial build-up thanks to its slick surface.
- Lightweight Anodised Aluminium Hardware – Strong and corrosion-resistant without extra weight.
- G-Hook Chest Strap and Tank Retainer – Lets you adjust with one hand quickly and easily.
- Three-Position Height Adjustable Backplate – Helps you find your best fit.
- Adjustable Waist and Shoulder Straps – Customize the fit for your comfort.
- Flat Folding Pockets – Two large pockets that tuck flat to reduce drag when not in use.
Apeks Exotec BCD Wrapture™ Harness System
The Wrapture Harness System combines swivel shoulder buckles with a low-profile backplate for improved comfort and stability. This design prevents the BCD from riding up at the surface, keeping it snug and secure.
On land, it balances your cylinder close to your body’s center of gravity. This makes standing upright easier, with your tank staying vertical for better posture and balance.
With multiple adjustment points across the shoulders and waist, the Wrapture System offers a customizable fit. Three available size ranges help ensure you’ll get a secure and supportive setup that fits your frame.
Apeks Exotec BCD Weight System
The Exotec comes with the SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System. Weights lock into place with a simple click, giving you peace of mind that they’ll stay put throughout the dive.
To release, just pull the handle. It’s that easy. This system offers both safety and simplicity when you need it most.
Additional Features of the Apeks Exotec BCD
- Four Dump Valves – One in each corner, including three low-profile flat valves for quick, easy air release.
- Rapid Exhaust Valve – Located at the upper left and connected to the Powerline inflator.
- Powerline Inflator – Provides one of the fastest inflation rates available. Its sealed design keeps it reliable, while integrated clips hold the LP hose in place.
- Dual Bladder Retraction System – Pulls the bladder inward as it deflates, cutting drag and keeping the BCD streamlined.
