After 15 years the OMS® record for product safety and reliability continues to surpass all others. NASA, World Class Record holders, deep explorers and those who simply demand the best specify OMS® banded and non-banded BC’s.
Like all OMS® BC’s these new models incorporate features such as (4) slots located in the non-inflated section of the BC (except the TACOPS®). Cam bands can then be passed through the integral webbing on the back of the IQ™ pack, or through the CAM-BAND slots on the Stainless Steel or Aluminum Back plates, inserted into these BC slots and finally placed over the single cylinder…. making any OMS® Backplate/Harness/BC system(s) very light and travel friendly. For those preferring super stability, the ever-popular Stainless Steel Single Tank Adapter can be used with either the IQ™ or the Stainless Steel/Aluminum Backplate Harness Systems.
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE™: OMS® uses 1000 denier Nylon backed with 5-6.0 oz of Urethane to prevent abrasion and increase puncture resistance on all BC’s. Most competitors lose the First Line of Defense™ on their BC’s by using little or no urethane backing. This leaves their product susceptible to punctures and abrasion. Housed inside our Nylon cover is a 210 Denier Nylon bladder backed w/ 3.8 pz of Urethane (2 bladders on the dual bladder BC).
