Cressi AquaRide BCD 

Cressi AquaRide BCD is a semi-classic structured BC with a special feature: it has adjustable shoulder straps that aren’t restricted by the air cell, improving the grip on the tank and improving comfort. Thanks to their anatomical, preformed profile, they are much easier to put on and make resting the tank more comfortable on the shoulders.

The BC features the Flat type Lock Aid System of integrated weight. It is efficient and comfortable thanks to its extremely flat profile and the easy and intuitive arrangement of the pockets. Finally, the anatomical control has a hose retainer, making all inflation and deflation operations are very easy and intuitive.

The waist strap is independent of the air bladder so that the jacket will always fit properly without feeling constrictive when inflated

Other AquaRide BCD Features

• Great buoyancy. Due to the waist-length design and larger wings, it is extremely hydrodynamic
• The Weight System LAS (2.0) integrated into the jacket drastically reduces the total volume of the apparatus, making it much flatter, lighter, and more discreet. New rubber grip assembled directly on the pocket. LAS makes managing the weight automatic and intuitive, even when wearing the jacket or under challenging conditions (when floating, in rough water, etc.). The pockets fit perfectly into place.
