The Patrol BC is an impressively light weight, rear inflation BC that is anatomically designed for maximum comfort and durability. The special air cell compression strap guarantees extra quick deflation and volume control. The ultralight rigid back plate with its integrated carrying handle ensures optimal stability. The Patrol also features Cressi’s Flat-Lock-Aid integrated weight system that makes it easy to release the pockets. There are 3 over pressure relief valves/dump valves: one on the upper part of the inflator hose, one valve on the right-hand side of the shoulder and a third on the lower right-hand side of the air cell. The inflator dump/valve is cable activated by pulling on the power inflator mechanism and the shoulder and lower valves have a pull cord.
Features include Flat-Lock-Aid Integrated Weight Pockets with 20 lbs. (9 kg) weight releasable capacity, optional tank band Trim Weight Pockets (see SKU: CSBTWP) a light ridged back plate with soft padded back, and 1-roll-up cargo pocket.
