APEKS Exotec BCD.

Discover the ultimate connection between diver and equipment with the revolutionary Apeks Exotec BCD vest. A true first of its class in the diving world, the Exotec introduces an innovative articulated backplate that pivots at your waist. This groundbreaking articulation allows the Exotec to move in perfect harmony with the natural movements of your body, delivering unparalleled freedom, fit, and comfort both in and out of the water. Say goodbye to the restrictive feeling of traditional BCDs and experience a new level of underwater mobility.

The APEKS Exotec BCD Jacket is meticulously engineered to feel like a part of you, not just something you wear. Designed for the discerning adult diver, this unisex BCD is crafted to fit both men and women perfectly, providing a customized feel that enhances your entire diving experience. The core of its design philosophy is to maximize comfort and distribute load, allowing you to focus purely on the joy of diving. The back-inflation style bladder ensures you maintain a clean, streamlined profile in the water, reducing drag and keeping your chest area completely uncluttered for easy access to accessories and controls.

Key Benefits & Main Features:

* BioReact Articulating Waist System: The heart of the Exotec. This patented system, combined with the acclaimed Wrapture Harness, allows the BCD to pivot at your waist. This provides complete freedom of movement for your torso, making it easier to gear up, move on the boat, and achieve perfect trim underwater.
* Back-Inflation Bladder Design: The air cell is positioned entirely behind you, creating a hydrodynamic profile that minimizes drag. At the surface, it provides excellent vertical positioning, while underwater it ensures you remain horizontal and perfectly trimmed.
* GripTek™ Fabric: Strategically placed high-friction fabric on the shoulders and waist ensures the BCD stays securely in position, preventing any unwanted shifting or riding up, whether you´re diving with a wetsuit or a drysuit.
* Ample Storage and Attachment Points: Features large, foldable utility pockets that remain streamlined when empty but expand to offer generous storage space for your accessories. Multiple stainless steel D-rings are strategically placed for easy and convenient attachment of all your essential gear.

Technical Specifications:

* BCD Style: Back-Inflation Vest
* Activity: Scuba Diving
* Harness System: Wrapture™ with BioReact™ Articulating Waist
* Integrated Weight System: SureLock™ II
* Inflator: Powerline with ergonomic controls
* Dump Valves: 3 - One on the right shoulder, one on the right hip, and one on the left hip for efficient buoyancy adjustments in any orientation.
* Lift Capacity: SM/MD: 170N (38 lbs) | LG/XL: 220N (49 lbs)
* Dry Weight (approx.): SM/MD: 4.2 kg | LG/XL: 4.4 kg

The APEKS Exotec BCD is more than just a buoyancy control device; it is a seamless extension of your body, designed for divers who refuse to compromise on comfort, freedom, and performance. Elevate your dive with the Exotec

Mike

The package arrived very quickly and well packaged. It is great for diving and fits perfectly to my body. There is no slipping! The diving bottle also stays where it belongs and does not slide upwards like most ADV jackets. Best buy

Perfect fit, it has three sizes S/MM/L XL/2XL and within each size you have several adjustments so that it adapts perfectly to each person's body.

Sandrine

Stab APEKs very good quality. I opted for a dorsal and I don't regret it, you feel carried by the stab in the water. A better standing posture of the block. I recommend.

Amazing BCD

vasil

Didn't have the chance to test it yet, but the first impression is excellent. A perfect fit (bought M/L, I'm 175 cm, 85 kg) and extremely comfortable. The materials are superb and look durable. Pockets and rings are convenient. A bit more force is needed to pull the straps, but I suppose it will change once I put it in water.

Why is the grey BCD different from the orange BCD in the photos? Shouldn’t the orange BCD be like the grey BCD?

Answer of Serge

Hello, they are the same stabilizing vests, only the color changes...

Answer of Dave

You have to be very careful as the pictures are not all an accurate depiction of the model. There are actually two types made, the Exotec and the Exotec-S both available in the grey or orange. The S model is actually a traditional wrap round style BCD with inflation front and rear whereas the non S model is a wing style with just the back bladder inflating. When you look at the S model from the front you will see it has the larger fixed pockets as opposed to the wing style Exotec which has the smaller drop ,,down pockets. You need to go for the model type rather than matching it to the pictures as even on the Apeks site the differences are not properly explained. I know as I made this mistake when I bought (and returned) the S type by buying from a picture rather than model type.

Hi, what size would you recommend for someone who dives with a dry suit and weighs 85 kg and is 188 cm tall

Answer of Gauthier

ML/LG, plus there are adjustment possibilities for a good fit. XL will be too big

Answer of Marwan

Hello, I am 1m70 and I wet dive with the S/M. Obviously try it first with your waterproof because they are not all the same!

Answer of Simon

Hi, I am 100kg and 185 cm tall and dive with a wet suit and have the M/L. I would suggest the M/L.

Pedro

What are the biggest differences between the Exotec and the Exotec S? Where can I buy the double tank kit? Thanks

Answer of Gerald

The EXOTEC-S is a standard ADV jacket, most of the buoyancy bladder is located under the arms in the diver´s hip area. Check out the photos on the APEKS website. The EXOTEC is a wing jacket in which the buoyancy bladder is on the back. Both jackets have an articulated back panel that rotates at the waist.

Answer of Manuel

The Exotec model is a wing (back inflator) while the Exotec S is a traditional vest (jacket style).

Jonathan

Hello This BCD was the subject of a recall for a cord problem, and a modification of the plate for installation of washers. Has the product you sell received an upgrade for these two issues?

Answer of Gauthier

Good morning. Personally, the length of the cord is consistent, and the presence of washers at the level of the back plate.

"I have a question as to whether you can dive with the Apeks Exotec with a double tank?"

Answer of Antonio Jesus

Yes, but... you have to buy a support to install on the plate, which is the one that holds the double bottle

Answer of gilles

No, changes would be needed

Shaun

Just trying to figure out how the prices are so low compared to the rest of the sites are thease units used or demo models or are they brand new?

Answer of Dominique

For my part, the product was completely new upon delivery. The sizes are rather large, I had to adjust the waist strap to the minimum position to get a tight fit. The straps are also tight to the maximum. If you are undecided between two sizes, take the smaller one.

Answer of Keith

All brand new - just the cheapest around

Answer of Margaret

Mine was definitley brand new. I haven't had the opportunity to use it much yet but I am happy with it so far.

I´m 170cm tall and weigh 70kg. If I wear it over a dry suit, what size should I wear?

Answer of Domenicus

Size S/M.

Answer of Michael

So I´m 175cm tall and weigh 105kg. At 70kg I would go for size M but with Trocki I don´t know if it will fit

SEAN

Hi, I weigh 75kg and my height is roughly 1.75m and waist size is 84cm, what size would you recommend for me I usually use a 3mm and a 5mm wetsuit. I think a SM would work but I would like to know what you think? Thanks

Answer of Agostino

A size S/M will be perfect. I took size M/L and I´m 1.80 and 90kg.

Answer of Brian

A SM would be ideal - the sizing can be adjusted for the waist.. I use a ML M on a 3/5mm wetsuit and a L when using a Drysuit..
