Aero Pro FCS


  • Description

     

    The new Aero FCS (Flight Control Sysem) has the same materials and features as our Aero Pro, but comes with the Cressi's FCS inflation/deflation system.
    The easy to operate system is located comfortably on the lower left hand section of the BCD always on hand without disturbing the movements of the diver, even during the most technical dives, and is easy to grip even with thick gloves. Following Cressi tradition, a great deal of care has been taken to ensure that the inflation and deflation functions occur with completely distinctive movements that cannot be mixed up.

    Technical details

     

    This is the version of the Aero Pro fitted with the FCS (Flight Control System), the exceptional and highly effective Cressi integrated system to adjust stability, now in a new version. The command that emerges from the bottom left of the jacket doesn’t protrude as much as the preceding versions, while still being within perfect reach. When necessary it can also be manoeuvred with the right hand thanks to the large, separate pressure and dump commands that cannot be confused, both acting progressively. The slider dump command in particular allows extremely precise micrometric dumping of air in the first part of the line that increases as the slider is pushed until the valve opens up completely at the end of the line.
    The manual emergency inflation tube is now on the left shoulder, protected by an elasticised cap in a position that is also accessible for your dive buddy to inflate.
    The structure of the bag is identical to the Aero Pro one, with shoulders separate from the bag and it provides considerable buoyancy as required by the models with fully integrated weights.
    The mixed front and back volume and the anatomic conformation guarantee an extremely streamlined and enveloping structure that is perfect for moving forward.
    Like the whole Aero series, the FCS model has also been conceived to be able to stow all the weights used by the diver in the various pockets.
    Two special slip-off weight containers known as L.A.S. (Lock-Aid System), can stow up to 4.5 kg of weight per pocket and come with a mechanical safety release. Two more weight pockets on the rear allow optimum distribution of the weights.
    The extensive accessories also include two large zip-up accessory holder pockets, numerous stainless steel D-rings and two carry handles.

    The choice of the materials makes it possible to keep the weight down for air travel.
