The Libra is a high quality, weight-integrated, rear inflation BC designed specifically for women. It is for the female local explorer who wants to be streamlined by placing the air cell behind her.
Features:
- The air cell, which is mounted in back of the diver, completely surrounds the contour back pack. This allows excellent transfer of air from side to side for stability and ease of dumping.
- SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System (patented) – provides a safe, single-pull release. Inserting weight is as simple as insert and “click”. With SureLock, your weights are secure in the BC. Once engaged, the only way to release the weight is to pull on the handle.
- Stainless steel tri-loaders (patented) are used to support weight pockets, pull in the back and secure the shoulders.
- Swivel shoulder buckles (patented) allow the shoulder straps to route back towards the tri-loaders while remaining flat against your body.
- The self-adjusting lumbar support system (SLS) automatically finds your lumbar to provide excellent comfort and support.
- The Libra differs from the Balance (the male version) by offering the following:
- Contoured shoulders that curve away more rapidly, removing undue pressure from the breast area.
- A removable chest strap in case it feels too confining.
- A smaller torso length is achieved by using a smaller contour back pack.
- Two non-releasable rear weight pockets allow not only provide increased weight capacity but allow the diver to trim their position in the water.
- A bladder retraction system is used to pull in the sides of the bladder during deflation. This keeps unit streamlined and reduces drag.
- Proprietary flat valves are streamlined, eliminating drag.
- The pull-down, easy-access pocket is perfect for a light or a fish I.D. slate.
- Features 3 stainless steel, angled D-rings to attach all of your accessories.
- Lower right pull dump is perfect for head first descents or cruising on a horizontal plane.
- Knife attachment points are found on the left lobe which will accommodate many of the Aqua Lung knives. This location provides easy access to the knife.
- Right shoulder pull dump provides an additional dumping option.
- Over-molded carrying handle comes standard.
- Rolled neck collar prevents abrasion on the neck and provides comfort.
- Optional accessories include the Airsource, Squeeze lock knife and reflector kit.
