Jacket Scubapro Hydros PRO - new proposal of universal BCD

Hydros PRO is a true breakthrough in diving comfort and convenience. Plastic Monprene®, adjustable fit, multiple attachment points combine to create the most comfortable and configurable jacket yet available from an American manufacturer. Winner of the 2016 Red Dot award for product design, the Hydros PRO is an extraordinary jacket created for anyone who loves to dive.

Interchangeable straps, compact design (easy to pack), and a backpack that holds the entire kit makes the Hydros PRO ideal for any dive location.

The ‘Monprene’ construction means exceptional durability. Hydros PRO is also extremely resistant to UV rays, chemicals and abrasions – with no typical signs of drift. And the modular design makes any repairs – even in remote locations – a snap.

Jacket Hydros PRO adapts to your unique body shape. It is equipped with a special gel (body grip) that provides extraordinary comfort and stability. The near-neutral buoyancy of the jacket makes the diver need less weight. Thanks to the air chamber on the back and the intelligent air displacement system, you can dive in any position.

Scubapro’s new BCD features both Trav-Tek straps and a fully integrated weight system. So, with just a few quick buckle changes, you can easily transform the Hydros PRO from a travel stretcher jacket to a jacket with an integrated weight system. This makes the Hydros equally suitable as a travel jacket.

We can easily add, remove and replace weight systems, bungees, D-rings, accessories and pockets to perfectly customise the BCD. With numerous attachable accessories and kits, there are countless configuration options – and they can be changed quickly. All depending on the conditions and type of diving.

The Hydros PRO is available complete with a special backpack that can fit your entire dive kit on your back.

Colour lovers will also be satisfied. Scubapro Hydros is available in seven colours to perfectly match your wetsuit, mask and fins. Colour sets are also available separately, so you can change your dive style whenever you feel like it.

The women’s version has many specially adapted details. Smaller air chambers, shorter inflator hose, profiled shoulder straps. All this ensures an ideal fit.

Hydros PRO is available in four men’s sizes – S, M, L, XL-2XL and three women’s sizes – XS/S, M, L with a buoyancy of 16.3kg or 18.3kg depending on size.
