From its initial design and release in 1995 to today, the TransPac XT has evolved through technology and relentless testing and diving to become one of Dive Rite’s signature products. Developed by Dive Rite CEO, Lamar Hires, the TransPac XT design was born from expeditions in the remote karst region of Japan. Lamar’s expeditions to remote areas required rugged yet comfortable gear both in and out of the water, and the equipment had to hold up under extreme conditions and unlimited use. It also had to be versatile. With this in mind, Lamar went to work designing the TransPac to meet the needs of the most extreme diver. All that he learned from 100s and 100s of dives in a vast number of locations was carefully implemented over time, making the TransPac BCD/harness system what it is today; a superior diving system.

Mountaineering Style Harness A mountaineering backpack style harness keeps the rig stable and guarantees that the Hydro Lite is as comfortable out of the water as it is in it. On land the harness is designed to distribute the load to the hips and alleviate added stress to the back and shoulders. Standard 2-inch waist and shoulder webbing allows the diver to add or remove any D-rings or accessories to customize the BCD. Adjustable quick release straps and integrated chest strap make getting in and out of the harness a snap.
For added stability the harness features a 1.5” crotch strap. Four 2” D-rings are located on the chest and waist belt. An integrated lumbar pad, hip pads, and shoulder pads are included for additional comfort. Available in five harness sizes S-XXL with quick adjustability for in-between sizes.

Streamlined Aircell An integrated 30 lb lift aircell provides the ideal amount of lift for a diver, tank, and weights, while maintaining a streamlined shape. Positioned for perfect trim, the 360-degree oval shape hugs the cylinder preventing the aircell from “tacoing” around the tank and trapping air. The Hydro Lite uses a “rapid exhaust” power inflator assembly on the left shoulder and an over-pressure valve with pull dump on the lower left of the wing.

Extremely rugged, the Hydro Lite aircell is designed for the long-term using a 600 denier polyester material outerbag and a 210 denier nylon laminated inner bladder.

Dual Tank Straps For added stability the Hydro Lite features dual tank straps, as well as a tank height adjustment strap. The top tank strap is Dive Rite’s 2” stainless steel non-marring roller buckle cam strap. The bottom strap is a quick adjust hook-and-loop retainer designed to provide additional tank stability while reducing overall weight.

Integrated Weight System The Hydro Lite features an integrated low profile 12 lb weight system with quick release pulls. By eliminating the use of additional holsters or large pull handles, the integrated weight system adds minimal bulk to the BCD. Each pocket can be quickly loaded with up to 6 pounds of either block or soft weight. The combination hook-and-loop and buckle retainer holds the weight securely while allowing the diver to quickly ditch their weight in case of emergency.

With its compact and streamlined design, the TravelPac’s 25 lbs. (11.3kg) of lift will support one 80ft3 (12L) aluminum tank with up to an additional 10 lbs. of weight. Designed with comfort in mind, the TravelPac creates no squeezes or pressure points like can happen with a traditional jacket style BC.

The TravelPac’s harness system is highly adjustable allowing for a custom fit every time. Diving a 3mm wetsuit today and just a rash guard tomorrow, you can quickly and easily adjust the harness for a snug and secure fit. Using the included cross-chest strap and the 1.5-inch crotch strap, you can keep the rig stable, secure, and moving with your body throughout the dive.

Extremely rugged, the TravelPac is designed for long-term using the same materials and craftsmanship that goes into our technical BCDs. With four large D-rings, scooter ring, two 1.5-inch cam straps, stainless steel buckle, and an epaulet for securing the inflator, the TravelPac has plenty of hardware, yet is still lightweight and compact, easily packing flat in a suitcase making it ideal for travelling.
