Crotch Strap

The crotch strap prevents the unit from riding up on the 

diver’s torso while in the water. It also has a front mounted 

underwater propulsion vehicle “scooter” ring and a 2-inch 

accessory D–ring in back.

Chest Strap

The  chest  strap  fits  across  your  sternum  and  keeps 

the two shoulders from slipping to the sides, ensuring 

a comfortable and secure fit. The chest strap has the 

option  of  being  removed  for  those  divers  who  find  it 

unnecessary.

Waistband Grommets

Located alongside each of the waistbands is  a  set of 

accessory mounting grommets. These can be used to 

mount a variety of optional accessories such as the 

SureLock™  weight  system 

(releasable weight), 

Trim 

pockets 

(non-releasable weight) 

or Tek pockets 

(for 

carrying masks, surface markers, etc)

, which

 

may be 

ordered separately from your Authorized Apeks Dealer. 

A nut and bolt kit is required for mounting accessories 

to the grommets. 

Retaining Loops

Below each of the shoulder release buckles, there is an 

elastic retainer loop. These loops can be used to retain 

excess shoulder webbing or they can be used to retain an 

accessory such as a small flashlight. There is also a retainer 

loop located on the crotch strap to retain excess webbing.

Epaulets (Hold-downs)

On top of each shoulder are epaulets that hold down 

the airway(s). Not only do these epaulets hold down 

the airway(s), they are also SOLAS reflector devices for 

high visibility. The epaulets are removable and can be 

repositioned to a new location based upon your needs.
