Hollis ST Elite Travel System
Take the adjustment of an Elite 2 harness in a travel-focused wing system. The aluminium backplate and Delrin cam bands help keep the configuration portable, while adjustable shoulder straps give you a familiar way to put the harness on and fine-tune the fit.
Features and benefits
- Adjustable shoulder straps. Fine-tune the Elite 2 harness fit and loosen the shoulder straps when putting on or removing the system.
- Configurable weight storage. Optional weight system. Add the listed weight system if it suits your ballast arrangement. Choosing compatible pockets lets you position ballast around the complete system and keep release controls accessible.
- Alloy backplate support. The aluminium backplate forms a rigid foundation for the harness and cylinder fittings without the mass of a comparable steel plate, making it useful when packing a modular system for travel.
- Durable construction. The 1680D laminated Cordura outer adds a protective layer around the air cell, helping it withstand abrasion during regular handling and use.
- K-style inflation control. The inflator provides separate controls for adding air and oral inflation or deflation. Its familiar hose-mounted layout keeps the controls together at the shoulder.
Fit and configuration
Select the appropriate size or harness adjustment for your body and exposure suit. Fit details: Adjustable shoulder straps and sternum strap within the selected harness size. Choose enough lift for your complete cylinder and equipment configuration. Lift capacity, ballast-pocket capacity and the BCD’s dry weight describe different things; use the size-specific values in Technical Specs when comparing options.
Care, rinsing and storage
After every dive, rinse the BCD, harness, buckles and accessible fittings with fresh water, paying attention to salt and sand around the inflator, dump valves and weight-pocket releases. Follow the Hollis manual’s procedure for the fitted inflation system, including keeping the power inflator pressurised where specified.
Dive Gear Australia recommends Gear Aid Revivex BC Cleaner 10 oz for cleaning the outer surfaces and internal air cell. It helps remove salt, chlorine and residue while conditioning suitable rubber and plastic parts. Use the dilution on the cleaner’s label and follow the equipment manual.
Rinse the air cell internally through the opening specified in the manual, using fresh water and the recommended cleaner dilution when needed. Gently rotate the equipment to reach the inside surfaces, drain through the specified outlet, then rinse until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly before drying.
Allow the BCD to dry in the shade, then store it slightly inflated in a cool, dry place without tight folds or heavy gear on top. Before diving, check that it holds air and that inflation controls, dump valves, straps and weight releases work correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s service schedule and have leaks, sticking controls or damage checked by an authorised technician.
