BCD Cressi X-Elite Evolution – Professional BCD IC771002

The Cressi Commander Evo is a back-inflation BCD that blends the streamlined performance of a rear-mounted air cell with the versatility of a traditional wraparound jacket.The air cell positions buoyancy behind the body, ensuring unrestricted movement even when fully inflated. Compression bungee straps wrap around the bladder for rapid deflation, keeping the unit neat and compact at all times.Unlike a pure wing-and-harness setup, the Commander Evo features a cummerbund-style waist strap with integrated weight pockets. Using Cressi’s Flat Lock Aid quick-release design, weights are held securely in place but are easy to release when needed. Rear weight pockets on the cylinder band allow for fine-tuning your trim.

The Commander Evo’s ultralight rigid harness includes an integrated carrying handle so that you can lift your BCD and cylinder with the back plate taking the weight, not the shoulder straps.Two large, zippered cargo pockets offer plenty of storage, while eight pre-bent D-rings (4x50mm aluminium and 4x25mm stainless steel) provide useful attachment points.Combining high buoyancy with a lightweight design, the Cressi Commander Evo is perfect for divers seeking freedom of movement and comfort..

Cressi X-Elite BCD Features:

•  Development of rear-mounted air cell

The 100% dorsal air chamber has the best buoyancy of the entire Cressi range, while remaining compact, thanks to the elastic containment straps that also help with drainage

• Air cell material: 420 denier nylon
• Integrated Cressi Flat-lock Aid weight System

The LAS (2.0) weight system integrated into the vest drastically reduces the total volume of the apparatus, making it much flatter, lighter and more discreet. New rubber grip assembled directly on the pocket. LAS makes managing the weight automatic and intuitive, even when wearing the vest or under poor conditions (when floating, in rough water, etc.). The pockets fit perfectly into their places. The “D” ring located at the opening eases the stress on the fabric and facilitates direct insertion. Spring closure (15 mm long) in case of any accidental snags. Loosens in two steps: compensation, then release. Reinforced pockets with a rigid plate for easy glide. Available in all sizes, from XS to XL, and identical on the right and left sides. Capacity of up to 4.5 kg each with flexible weight

• Scratch-resistant shoulder pads for use with lightweight wet suits

• 2 rear ballast pouches

  Weight pockets in line with the tank. They are very useful to determine the diver’s tilt

• 3 pressure relief valves
• 50 mm quick-release buckled shoulder straps.

Now, the harness system is completely independent from the air bladder in the shoulder pad area too, giving the vest absolute stability on the diver’s body, completely freeing the chest, armpit and abdominal areas from pressure due to the expansion of the bladder against the back and around the tank
