The Mares Prestige SLS BCD
The Prestige SLS Jacket is a high-quality buoyancy control device equipped with the innovative Mares SLS technology. You can also find this technology in our range, for example in the Mares Dragon SLS BCD for diving instructors or in the lightweight travel BCD Mares Bolt SLS. With its robust construction and excellent fit, it offers you a high lift capacity.
Mares BCD with patented SLS weight pocket system
The Mares Prestige SLS BCD with integrated weights features the patented Mares SLS weight pocket system, which is considered the safest on the market. The newly developed Slide and Lock weight pockets allow for smooth insertion of weights, providing you with an audible "click" and a green confirmation indicator to visually confirm that the weight pockets are securely locked in place. This system is incredibly easy to operate, even with thick neoprene gloves. Additionally, two practical trim weight pockets are integrated into the BCD.
Advanced Dive Jacket with generous lift capacity
With a lift capacity of 180N in size L, the Mares Prestige SLS Jacket is ideal for deeper and equipment-intensive dives. This ensures you feel safe and secure, even in challenging diving conditions.
Easy adjustable fit
This MaresBCD offers an excellent fit, making it one of the most favoured BCDs. This is not only due to the innovative, swivel buckles, but also to the easily adjustable straps that automatically adapt to any body size. The elastic cummerbund conforms to your body shape, making it effortless to switch from a thin wetsuit to a 7mm wetsuit with an ice vest. The low-cut buoyancy body allows for great freedom of movement and a comfortable water position.
Robust materials and lightweight design
Despite its robust construction from 420 Cordura material, durable nylon straps, and stainless steel D-rings, the Jacket weighs only 3.9 kg in size L. This makes it a great travel BCD that won’t overload your diving luggage.
Practical Buoyancy Compensator with numerous storage solutions for diving accessories
With 6 sturdy D-rings and 3-dimensional, self-draining zip pockets, the Mares Prestige SLS offers plenty of options to securely attach your diving instruments and tools.
User-friendly BCD with classic inflator
The Ergo inflator of the Prestige SLS dive jacket feels good in the hand and is easy to operate. This user-friendliness makes the BCD an excellent choice for beginner divers and students alike.
In our online diving shop, you will find the Mares Prestige SLS BCD in various sizes along with the suitable accessories. In addition to this model, we also offer other high-quality buoyancy control devices from Mares, Scubapro, Hollis, Aqualung, and other manufacturers.
