Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions?

What is the difference between the regular ST System and the ST Elite System?

The ST System uses the minimalist Solo Harness, which is a continuous-weave, "no-frills" tech webbing setup with fixed D-rings and no quick-release buckles. It is streamlined, highly durable, and favored by divers wanting a traditional technical feel. The ST Elite upgrades to the Elite 2 Harness, which features ergonomic shoulder padding, adjustable positioning, and quick-release buckles. It provides a plush, familiar fit closer to a traditional recreational jacket BCD while keeping the stability of a backplate.

Do I need a Single Tank Adapter (STA) to mount a tank?

No. The ST wing features an integrated stability plate and built-in cam band slots designed to mount directly to a single cylinder securely without requiring a heavy metal single tank adapter, helping keep travel weight down.

Can I convert the ST System single-tank system into a double-cylinder configuration later?

Yes. Because the system is built around a modular backplate (either aluminum or stainless steel) and standard 11-inch spacing bolt holes, you can easily swap out the single-tank ST wing for a double-cylinder wing (such as the DT50) and add dual cylinder bands whenever you are ready to transition into technical doubles diving.

Is the minimalist Solo harness on the ST system hard to adjust or put on?

Because it relies on a continuous-weave design without quick-release shoulder buckles, getting into and out of the regular ST system takes a little more practice than a traditional jacket BCD. However, once you adjust the webbing and D-ring placements to fit your body and primary exposure suit, it provides a custom, rock-solid fit that will not shift or sag underwater.
