Halcyon has a long history as an industry leader in BC design, offering simple and robust de-
signs for more than a decade. One of our innovations is the Halcyon Cinch (patent pending).
The Cinch redefines what it means to dive a backplate, building upon a platform of simplicity
while providing unprecedented security and ease of adjustment. Halcyon developed the Cinch
to save divers time and effort while sizing, fine-tuning and resizing your diving harness. Now
you can change suits or divers and adjust the Cinch in a flash; all this without compromising
the harness integrity or our trademark, continuous piece of webbing. Adjustments to the Hal-
cyon Cinch occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique, patent-pending assembly.
Now divers can easily adjust the fit of their plate in or out of the water–a simple push or pull is
all it takes. If you need a quick way to get out of your dive system; if you regularly change the
thickness of your diving suit; or if you train new students in Halcyon rental equipment, this new
invention will change the way you dive.
DIVING WITH THE CINCH
If you are installing a Cinch upgrade, be sure to use new webbing and check that it is free of
blemishes. This manual contains detailed assembly instructions to assist in properly fitting the
Cinch upgrade.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CINCH HARNESS
Adjustment of the Secure Harness while wearing the Cinch is quick and easy. Be sure to trim the
extra webbing once you’ve determined the best size range for your Cinch harness and quick-ad-
just crotch strap. The Cinch harness can be adjusted in or out of the water and can be used with
single or double cylinders. It is best to adjust the Cinch while the cylinders are supported, such
as sitting on a bench, table edge, tail gate, or similar.
•
To Tighten the Harness: While using both hands, grasp the ends of the waist band web
bing and pull up and outward (at roughly 45 degrees) from the body (see figure 6).
•
To Loosen the Harness: Grasp the webbing at the shoulder straps just above the waist.
Push the harness out and up slightly from your waist (see figure 7).
It is possible to overtighten the harness. If desired,a triglide can be put in place as a “stopper”
on the webbing to allow a full stop of sizing when the harness has reached it’s desired fit (see
figure 9). (Please see Cinch assembly instructions for additional detail.)
•
Left D-Ring: Adjustment of the left hip D-ring position can be done by moving the triglide/
D-ring forward or backward on the assembly .
•
Right Light Retainer Assembly: Attachment of the light assembly will be necessary if you
choose to dive a waist-mounted canister light with the Cinch. Consult the Cinch
installation section for full instructions.
•
Adjustment of the quick-adjust crotch strap is done quickly by moving the webbing
through the quick-adjust, slide buckle as shown in figure 8. A rear D-ring is included on
