Reviews for AP Valves Buddy Pioneer TD BCD Jacket: Suitable for all levels of diving, the Pioneer TD is equally at home at 10m in the Tropics or 70m in cold water. The new top-of-the-range technical jacket is extremely user-friendly with a surplus of no-nonsense features designed to do their job well, while minimising task loading – essential requirements for the tech diver.
Features:
- Such features include the AP31 hose exhaust – the standard third dump valve which is operated by pulling on the mouthpiece/inflator assembly – allowing simple, one handed buoyancy control throughout the dive.
- The front-mounted on/off cylinder valve offers further ergonomic advantage - being easy to locate and operate with either hand - for emergency buoyancy or emergency breathing in conjunction with either the AP200 Inflator or the superb Auto Air - Inflator / EN250 rated emergency regulator.
- Schaeffer TM reflective striping and high visibility dump-pulls
- 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]
- Flip-over waist-buckle and our unique super-strong shoulder buckles (50% stronger than the common side-press type, making them suitable for supporting twins through to quads)
- Expanding Zip pockets with rapid-drain mesh gussets
- An Emergency Net Cutter stowed in its own pocket.
- Integral SMB pouch located at the rear left.
- First-owner Lifetime Warranty
- The supplementary BUDDY Redwing is recommended for Trimix dives below 70m.
