Reviews for AP Valves Buddy Pioneer Sport BCD Jacket: The BUDDY Pioneer is the Rolls Royce of BCDs. This top-of-the-range model not only includes all the qualities you expect from a BUDDY – ultra rugged twin-bag construction, head-up surface flotation, spare-air cylinder and choice of famous A.P. Valves for emergency breathing and buoyancy – but it is also packed with bright new ideas. For performance, safety and comfort the Pioneer leads the way.
The Pioneer features an AP31 hose exhaust as standard. This ingenious third dump valve - built into the inflator assembly shoulder - supplements the two other air exhausts and enables easy one handed buoyancy control.
Our top BUDDY jacket differs from the others in that it features a front-mounted on/off emergency mini-cylinder valve, which has been developed, tried and tested over many years. This is the most ergonomic easy-to-reach location for use with either hand (either you or your buddy) in an emergency.
The 0.4 litre, 232 bar emergency air cylinder is included as standard [either Int.A-clamp or DIN valve]
[Optional: 0.35 litre 300 bar cylinder and DIN valve]
