JACKETS

Of the models for travelling and those for professional use this jacket has intermediate characteristics including a good sized sack, a simplified harness and the use of a material that is light yet at the same time very strong.
It has a Lock Aid quick release weight container system


Aquaride is the perfect jacket for the recreational diver who does not want to forego a full range of accessories and good buoyancy volume but does not want to reach the limits of professional models.


The shape of the sack favours the distribution of air on the side areas, offering a very natural trim.
Two generous zip up pockets allow stowing of even bulky accessories.


On the back of the jacket two lead pockets allow for perfect distribution of the weights between these pockets and the integrated Lock Aid weight system.
The two-piece back panel is rigid with generous padding.

The wide range of accessories includes: a fully adjustable elasticated waistband, a comfortable padded back, a full range of D-rings and snap-hooks for holding accessories and the rear release valve brought to the front.

In the new AERO range, this is the rear expanding model that offers the maximum buoyancy of all.

The anatomic conformation of the jacket and the special elastic bag retainer keep the size smaller and ensure a favourable forward moving section. Like the other models in the AERO series, it has been specifically designed to be able to stow all the diver's weights in the different pockets. Complete with the brand new Lock-Aid System (L.A.S.), which consists of two special slip-off weight containers complete with the brand new and patented Lock-Aid-System with mechanical safety release for rapid extraction; each one can stow up to 4.5 kg of weight.

The extensive accessories include two accessory holder zip-up pockets, two weight pockets on the back, several stainless steel D-rings and two knife sheaths. A judicious choice of materials has made it possible to combine its extreme sturdiness with a smaller weight for air travel.

The rear expanding bag offers extreme comfort without in the least interfering with the diver's body, irrespective of how inflated it is.

The special elastic bag retainer guarantees quick deflation and at the same time keeps the volume to a minimum. Considerable comfort is guaranteed by the soft covering made from special webbed material on the back and all along the inner jacket.

The two-piece elasticised waistband, adjustable in length, comes complete with the famous Freematic Cressi system.

The integrated weights system uses large pockets that can be slipped off towards the front of the jacket, with the brand new, patented Lock-Aid-System, which makes extraction immediate and extremely easy, while still combined with anti-slip off safety. The two large webbed, vertical accessories pockets are concealed and when not used they can be rolled up and protected by a zip.

The extensive accessories include two 50 mm D-rings on the shoulders, two on the bottom of the jacket and two more weight pockets on the back (situated on the front). There are three dump/pressure valves: one situated at the upper extremity of the hose, a second one on the right shoulder, controlled by the tubed line and a third one fitted to the bottom right of the jacket.

Although the structure is strong, the combined use of 500 Cordura and 420 denier nylon has made it possible to keep the weight right down for air travel.

This is the ladies’ version of the Back Jac model, and it too is a rear expanding BC.

This jacket offers the best buoyancy in the whole range of Cressi BCs. The conformation of pockets, harnessing and shoulder straps has been studied for the best fit on the female body.

Lady Jac has a special elastic bag retainer to keep the size smaller and to ensure a favourable forward moving section.

Like the other models in the Aero series, Lady Jac has also been conceived to be able to stow all the weights used by the diver in the various pockets.
It comes with the Lock-Aid System (L.A.S.), consisting of two special slip-off weight pockets with mechanical safety release, each one able to stow up to 4.5 kg of weight.

The considerable comfort is guaranteed by the soft outer of the back pack in special mesh and of the whole inner part of the BC. The elasticised camband is made in two pieces; the length can be adjusted and it comes with the famous Cressi Freematic system.

Accessories include two roll-up, concealed mesh pockets, two extra weight pockets (situated on the front of the bag), several stainless steel D-rings and flexible hose clamps.

A judicious choice of materials has made it possible to combine its extreme sturdiness with a smaller weight for air travel.

The new Cressi Flex BC is the perfect jacket for travellers. It is extremely lightweight (1.8 kg for size M), about 40% less than any other jacket, considerably reducing luggage weight for flying.

The Flex BC has been specifically conceived for travellers and is designed to enable a 40% reduction in weight compared to any other jacket on the market. No detail has been left out to achieve this result, beginning from the choice of material, 210 denier nylon, light but hard-wearing.

The soft, padded backpack has a strong grip rubber zone and a double camband to hold the tank firmly. Two large zip-up pockets house inside two mesh weight pockets and on the back of the BC, another two weight pockets mean the weight can be divided perfectly. The command for the purge valve on the back is situated on the bottom right front of the jacket.

All the D-rings are made from light alloy.
It only takes a few moments to fold up Flex and tie it with a special foldaway belt so it can be easily put into the special carry bag that comes with shoulder strap.
The very light frame of Flex and the anatomic style underwater translate into a very close-fitting and streamlined BC that offers very little resistance to forward movement.
