Dive Bcd Dragon Sls XS Mares 417223XS

Description:

The Mares Dragon SLS is a scuba BCD designed for divers who want a combination of stability, comfort, and durability in one robust jacket-style system. It features the Slide and Lock System (SLS), which provides secure ballast retention, guided insertion, and audible confirmation when the weight pockets are correctly inserted. The BCD is built with a separation between the bladder and the shoulder straps, helping improve freedom of movement and comfort, especially when the jacket is inflated. A sliding buckle connection helps reduce shoulder traction during inflation, supporting a more balanced fit throughout the dive. The Dragon SLS also includes an adjustable corrugated tube counter strap, allowing the hose position to be set in a way that suits different preferences.

Additional practical details include extra-large pockets with elastic panels, a stretch pocket with an abrasion-resistant neoprene panel, and an adjustable belly band for a more tailored fit. The backrest uses a single-plate Monoplate design and is suitable for both single and twin cylinders. With its Cordura® 420 construction, stainless steel D-rings, and strong overall build, this BCD is made for frequent use and dependable performance. The XS size includes an SLS weight capacity of 4 + 4 kg, making it suitable for divers looking for a compact, well-balanced setup.
