This BC is identical to the retraction banded BC117-K45 except that it is coated front and back with 4.7 oz of TPU which is extremely resistant to Chlorine and hydrocarbons. This makes this BC an excellent choice for highly chlorinated pools or a BC that is going to be used in a petrochemical contaminated environment.

This BC has been redesigned for 2008 to meet the stringent requirements of Public Safety Divers (PSD) and Military divers around the world with regard to diving either in polluted water or HAZMAT conditions. The BC is now made with single bag construction and the IQ™ has new materials added to prevent absorption of toxic liquids and other undesirable substances. This makes the BC and harness easy to decontaminate. Both harness and BC use a TPU 2008 Nylon 420 Denier 4.7 oz (coated on both sides) giving outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance. The harness now incorporates a heavy duty 8mm D-Ring so that the diver can be tethered and lifted out of the water.
