Outer Bag made of 1000D ArmorShield™ Cordura

The outer bag of the twin cylinder buoyancy cell is made from 1000 denier ArmorShield™ Cordura. This

fade-resistant material was chosen for its extreme durability.

Elliptical Corrugated Hose

The Apeks technical airway found on each cell includes a corrugated hose that has an elliptical cross

section. This allows for a lower profile, which reduces drag and lays cleanly over the shoulder.

Safety Cable in the Airway

A safety cable can be found in the corrugated hose of each Apeks technical airway. This safety cable

protects the corrugated hose from hyper-extension and tearing that can be caused by any undue

stresses such as snags.

Heavy Duty Inflator Brass Buttons

Technical diving equipment must be robust and reliable. Apeks’ new technical inflator exceeds the

challenge. The secret to its reliability is its simplicity. Fewer parts mean less to go wrong and ease of

service. Once you hold the precision marine brass buttons in your hand, you will quickly realize that this

is not a recreational inflator, but rather a serious tool to meet the dive at hand.

Rugged Inner Bag made of Mil-Spec Material

The inner bladder of the buoyancy cell is made from a strong, coated fabric. This material meets all

necessary military specifications and can be found on lifesaving flotation equipment worn by military

pilots.

Inner Bag Protected from Zipper with V-Diamond™ Rubber

The inner bladder of the buoyancy cell is protected from getting caught in the outer zipper by using a

barrier of V-Diamond™ rubber.

Loops for Optional Retractor Kit

The buoyancy cell has loops sewn into the outer bag for an optional retractor kit (p/n 388300) which will

streamline the buoyancy cell while diving.

Dedicated Inflator for each Bladder

The left side inflator is for the front bladder and the right side inflator is for the rear bladder.
