Step outside your comfort zone - in complete comfort

The BUDDY Explorer is a high spec sport diving jacket built to the same rigorous standards in quality and performance that BUDDY jackets are renowned for. The Explorer is packed with features designed to maximise comfort and allow fine-tune buoyancy control

Unique features include the re::flex comfort-fit system which allows you to customise the jacket-fit specifically to your individual body shape - with a one-time simple set-up adjustment in the position of the waistband, shoulder buckles and the backplate length. Buoyancy control and comfort is enhanced with 3 super-responsive dump/over-pressure valves, a choice of emergency breathing valve/inflators and the option of a positive-lock integrated weight system
