For those that are weight conscious the OMS Featherweight retraction band BC, has been engineered to be one of the lightest travelBC's in existence, yet maintain the ruggedness of a technical BC. This single cylinder travel BC achieves significant weight reduction by utilizing the strongest of FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) to replace heavy metal.
Instead of Flimsy 200 Denier Nylon coated with TPU, the OMS Featherweight BC utilizes stronger 1680 denier Nylon with a double coating of TPU, yet still maintains its superior light weight characteristics. This protects your BC against abrasion and puncture.
The soft comfort back pad conforms to the shape of the diver. The Patent pending Single cylinder holder further reduces weight and drag especially versus plastic blow molded backpack/tank holders that are commonly used in other recreational BC's. In addition the OMS_ single cylinder holder offers superior cylinder holding and stability .
Both pockets are streamline reducing drag and bulk but most importantly the unique patent pending design securely stows up to 8 lbs .of weight (per pocket).
Lift capacities for the Featherweight BC are optimum for almost any cylinder capacity encountered during your travels
