Dragon Sls Mares Underwater Stabilizing Vest

DRAGON SLS MARES Dive Stabiliser Jacket

Ride the dragon during your dives with the new MARES dive stabiliser jacket, the DRAGON SLS: new pockets, new harness, new look, and always comfort and robustness to withstand anything.

For the most loyal divers of the Rapallo company, the names Dragon and Kaila are synonymous with quality, reliability, and success.

These are two flagship models from Mares in the field of jackets.

Was it possible to do better? Mares has succeeded.

The main features of the Dragon and Kaila have now evolved and progressed, making them even more comfortable, stable, and incredibly strong.

First and foremost, these two jackets are now equipped with the new SLS weight system - Slide and Lock System: more stable weight retention, increased sealing surfaces, active locking mechanical system, quick release mechanism, guiding tunnel for easier donning, audible feedback for correct insertion.

On the Dragon and Kaila, the SLS system has a capacity of 4+4 kg for sizes XS and S, and 6+6 kg for sizes M, L, and XL.

A pocket with a Supratex neoprene panel has also been added, the "Stretch Pocket" already tested on the Quantum: made with the same neoprene used for wetsuits, it is abrasion-resistant and includes a horizontal zipper.

The fit of these two jackets is optimal, and performance is enhanced by the separation between the shell and the shoulders: a wider range of movement is possible, as well as superior stability of the shell, even when adjusted during the dive. The shell is attached to the shoulder strap by a small loop that can slide along a band, ensuring no pulling on the shoulders during inflation.

Dragon and Kaila also allow for the adjustment of the position of the band that holds the Direct System in two different positions to modify its placement, catering to those who desire the greatest ease of air release when raising the snorkel, and those who prefer a snorkel that is better secured and close to the body.

Even the Direct System has been improved: the length is now reduced to 32 cm (instead of 40 cm) for sizes S, XS, and XXS (available only for the women's KAILA version).

The Trim Weight pockets are also present, practical and accessible, complementing these already very complete jackets.

Finally, an additional focus on the female audience from Mares: Kaila, the dedicated "She Dives" solution will have a 40 mm buckle, while the Dragon, the "men's" jacket will feature a 50 mm swivel buckle.

This stabiliser jacket has been manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the CE regulation 2016 / 425 for PPE (category 2) following the NF EN 1809 standard.
