JACKETS

Model from the new AERO range specifically designed for women, and the bag structure and shoulders have been studied to adapt perfectly to women's shapes without uncomfortable constrictions.

Like the other models in the AERO range, this jacket has been 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 mechanical safety release, each one can stow up to 4.5 kg of weight.

The shoulder straps are separate from the bag, which provides considerable buoyancy as required by the models with fully integrated weights.

Notwithstanding this, the mixed front-back volume and the anatomic conformation guarantee an extremely streamlined and enveloping structure that is perfect for forward moving. The extensive accessories include two accessory holder zip-up pockets, two weight pockets on the back, several stainless steel D-rings and two carry handles. The choice of materials makes it possible to keep the weight down for air travel.

This jacket is very comfortable, and has been specifically designed for the female body, also assisted by the anatomic padded back and by the two-piece elasticised waistband, extensively adjustable in length, complete with the famous Freematic Cressi system that stops the abdomen from feeling compressed even when it is fully inflated.

The adjustable buckles are 40 mm instead of 50 mm to make it easier for women's hands to control them.

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. Notwithstanding the excellent buoyancy guaranteed by the mixed front-back structure of the bag, this wraparound jacket guarantees a particularly small forward moving section.

The extensive accessories include two accessory holder zip-up pockets, two 40 mm D-rings on the shoulders, two on the bottom of the jacket and two more weight pockets on the back. 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 rear of the jacket.

Although the structure is strong, a judicious choice of materials has made it possible to keep the weight right down for air travel.

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.

The most beloved and popular jacket of the top bracket. In this jacket, the bag has been freed up from the harness and has considerable volume and subsequent buoyancy, which make it perfectly suitable for professional use as well as for heavier uses.

The S111R is a unique product that combines the performance features of semi-back inflation with the comfort of an adjustable BCD.

A fully weight integrated BCD, the S111R incorporates a self-expanding gusseted bladder that offers increased buoyancy around the tank, allowing for proper buoyancy control while swimming. Cressi-sub’s unique C-Trim Weight System is utilized allowing for proper weight distribution along with easy weight ejection.

The choice of materials, a new Colour Lock 500 denier Cordura and 420 denier nylon, reflects the current trend to make very strong but not too heavy BCs.

The conformation of the bag has been designed to offer extremely high comfort. The shoulder straps have a 20 mm increase of distance between them and the entire front part of the BC has a lowered profile, thus giving the arms the greatest freedom of movement. The shoulder straps are also separate from the bag, and are attached not to the bag but directly to the backpack and boast the new feature of being adjustable in length, so that they adapt perfectly to the physique of people even very different from each other.

The pockets are very large and come complete with gusset opening, suited to storing bulky objects.

The C-Trim System weight pockets, are shaped from the rear of the main pocket, so they do not stick out at the sides, thus offering an excellent hydrodynamic profile.

The weights are inserted into special large, removable pockets, which can hold up to 5 kg of weight each. They now sit further to the front and are inclined so as to guarantee perfect balance and make it easier to remove the weight. There is an extensive Velcro zone to attach the specific pockets to the jacket, helped by a YKK hi-tech polymer button. Some 4 weight pockets have been shaped from the back of the jacket, closed by Fastex buckles, to stow another 4 kg of weight. So, the jacket can thus stow a total of up to 14 kg of weight, thereby catering for the needs of those divers who prefer to completely entrust their weighting to the jacket, even when they carry a lot of weight, imposed by the use of some dry suits.

The backpack is completely new, anatomic, light and very hard-wearing. The rear part incorporates an elastomer non-slip element, for perfect grip of the tank, assisted in this operation by a second adjustable strap, to be placed round the neck of the tank or on the valves. The upper inner side has a strong carry handle for the unit. The backpack and the inside of the pockets are padded with Softflex, a soft and light material that guarantees great comfort.

The waist strap is separate from the bag and is surmounted by a dual adjustment strap. It allows a natural “fold out” opening of the BC (Freematic System) when there is a large amount of air, thus preventing any compression and squeezing sensation to the diver's body at all. The waist strap is made in two separate pieces, is adjustable and also stretches, like the shoulder straps above it, to automatically absorb squeezing of the suit and the abdominal area of the body during the dive.

There are 3 dump/pressure valves: one is situated on the upper extremity of the hose, a second one on the right shoulder, controlled by a small tubed line and a third one fitted to the bottom, right rear.

The particularly plentiful accessories include two, 50 mm stainless steel rings on each shoulder, two applied to the bottom edge of the BC and two, 30 mm rings attached above the pockets.
