Key features and design details for the Lotus BCD:

• Wrapture Harness System: Patented swivel shoulder buckles and an ultra-thin back plate provide improved comfort, prevent the BCD from riding up at the surface, and keep the cylinder close to your center of gravity to transfer weight to the hips when standing out of the water.
• Sure Lock II Mechanical Weight Release: Safe, single-pull weight release system for rapid and reliable ditching when required.
• HP Hose Routings: High-pressure hose routings through the back keep the kit low-profile and minimize drag.
• Smooth, Flat Valves: Proprietary flat valves reduce drag for a streamlined profile.
• Bladder Retraction System: Retracts the sides of the bladder during deflation to keep you streamlined and reduce drag.
• Adjustable Chest Strap: Sliding chest strap can be raised or lowered on a rail system for added comfort and to help avoid drysuit valves.
• Octo Pocket: Right-lobe octo pocket secures the octopus while keeping it accessible and visible throughout the dive.
• Additional Dump Option: Right-shoulder pull for alternate drain location.
• Non-Ditchable Weight Pockets: Rear-mounted pockets help achieve proper positioning in the water.
