Have your cake and eat it too. The Outrigger is a revolutionary low-profile, rear inflation BC with a patented flow-through High Lift Transfer (HLT) system designed to transfer buoyant lift from the rear bladder to a 15-pound front bladder for effortless face-up surface flotation. Experienced divers agree that a rear inflation design is best for streamlined freedom of movement and positioning underwater, while a jacket style provides more superior surface flotation. Now you can have the best of both worlds.
- Patented flow-through High Lift Transfer (HLT) system transfers buoyant lift from the rear bladder to a 15-pound front bladder for effortless face-up surface flotation. The HLT System is easily stowed after use; simply lean forward so that water pressure moves air back into the rear bladder, and stow the HLT System.
- Reinforced shoulders, padded back pack with lumbar support and an adjustable position sternum strap ensure comfort and stability
- QLR Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 20 lbs. plus dual 5 lbs. cylinder band weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
- Integrated instrument retractor mount (retractor not included) and Spinner Knife mounting grommets on either the left or right

Patented High Lift Transfer (HLT) System
Oceanic's Patented flow-through High Lift Transfer (HLT) system transfers buoyant lift from the rear bladder to a 15-pound front bladder for effortless face-up surface flotation. Simply detach the clip and velco flap, water pressure does the rest. For additional buoyancy, you may then inflate to fill both bladders for a total of up to 60 pounds of lift! When you're ready to descend again, simply lean forward in the water to transfer the air to the rear bladder, and fold the HLT to stow. Patented QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System
Oceanic's patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System is standard equipment on the Outrigger. Your weights stay in position throughout the dive and do not shift around affecting buoyancy or position in the water. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release. Best of all, our patented "positive-lock" system helps to ensure that they'll stay put.
Cylinder Band Weight Pockets
Standard equipment on the Outrigger, our Cylinder Band Weight Pouches provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 10 non-dumpable pounds.
Patented BioFlex ® Super-Stretch Air Cell with 1000 Denier Fadeless Nylon Outer Shell
Your equipment should enhance, not hinder the joy and exhilaration of diving. Nowhere is this more important than with BC's, where comfort and freedom of movement must be balanced against function and durability. Responding to this challenge led Oceanic design engineers to create BioFlex - a unique "living fabric" that stretches, flexes and conforms to the body. BioFlex is an extraordinary fabric, which stretches, fully inflated up to 30% over conventional nylon or polyurethane BC materials. The idea being that if a material could stretch while remaining airtight, you could make smaller air cells, creating less bulk and drag underwater while achieving high volumes of lift when required. BioFlex eliminates chest squeeze, conforms to the diver's body and provides a slim, body hugging profile.
Fadeless 1600 Denier Ballistic Nylon Construction
Exterior abrasion points of the Outrigger are covered in our new "Fadeless" 1600-denier ballistic nylon - tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that "new look" longer.
Stainless Steel D-rings
Welded and slightly bent for easy, one-handed attachment.
Optional Integrated Retractor System
Built-in retractor attachment point - perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials.
Spinner Knife Mounting Grommets
Located on both the left and right pockets, a pair of stainless steel grommets keep our SPINNER BC KNIFE out of the way but just where you want it.
Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund
Oceanic's patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. Oceanic's cummerbund offers up to 8" of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size.
Interior Plush Lining, Padded Backpack and Additional Lumbar Support
Extra heavy duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack. Plush lining at all contact points for comfort - a big plus on warm water dives.
Large Zippered Pockets
Zippered so they're easy to get into. Enough room to store your OceanPro Light, extra Shadow Mask, Pocket Snorkel, and more!
Optional Air XS 2 Alternate Inflator
The new AIR XS combines the reliability, performance and durability of the SlimLine OCTOPUS and ALLIANCE INFLATOR into one very low profile, streamlined package. The regulator/inflator combination is as small as many BC inflators alone, with breathing performance superior to many stand-alone octopus regulators.
The AIR XS can be added to any existing Oceanic BC or may be purchased already installed on a new Oceanic BC for additional savings.
Colors The Outrigger is available in Black/Titanium. |
