Mares

Bolt SLS BCD

£357.00 RRP $428.00 In Stock

Brand: Mares

Model: Bolt SLS BCD

SKU: 62963-2

Please note: This item cannot be shipped outside the European Union - learn more

The Mares Bolt BCD is a comfortable wing style BCD with the SLS weight integration pockets and a Lumbar Support System. The Bolt has been made to be simple, light and comfortable for a travelling diver who doesn't want a bulky jacket style BC.

 

Wing Style

The bladder of the BCD only inflates behind you around your cylinder which holds you in a horizontal position in the water and holds your cylinder from twisting when you're in the water. Even when fully inflated you won't feel it unlike a jacket style and when it deflates the bungee system folds the bladder into itself to keep it neat and streamlined.

 

SLS Weights

Mares' Slide and Lock System uses a mechanical system that holds the pockets securely in place so the can only fall out when you pull the handle. The visual indicator on each pocket tells you if you've connected it properly.

Features

  • Superbly comfortable and stable back buoyancy BC with 21kg lift (46 lbs)
  • Streamlined
  • Swivel shoulder buckles
  • Smart trim weight positioning
  • SLS weight system
  • Roll-down cargo pocket
  • Adjustable cummerbund
  • Travel friendly
  • Monoplate backpack

Weight approx. : 3.9kg

Hehe .. Just Add Water !

I've only had 2 dives using my new Mares Bolt BCD. Having not dived for over 2 years I needed dive kit I could rely on.

It was easy to get into when I'd attached everything. There are enough D rings for eqiupment though I will have to set up my torch and octopus a different way. Very comfortable when having to walk 100yds to the waters edge.

When I "added the water" everything came to hand as it should. Somewhat improved my diving experience and most importantly my safety.

Great wing at a great price

Very well built. Nice and light for travel and the locking system for the integrated weights is amazing.

Great BCD

Great BCD. Lots of nice features. The weight system seems to work nice and smooth, large capacity. Inflator works very smooth. Trimweights are placed very well. And lightweight too. :)
