The BC jacket has been praised for its excellent tank hold and other functions which help to maintain balance underwater. It has been further developed for a new model with an Independent Harness System in addition to the Ultimate Stabilizing Harness which fixes the tank onto two support rails. In the water or on land, this system provides unsurpassed tank hold in any position.The BCJ-3850 is a BC Jacket designed to create absolute tank stability. In addition to the Ultimate Stabilizing Harness which prevents the tank moving around thanks to the dual rails, it also employs and Independent harness System. The Tanks Suspension System has been improved to allow the diver to adjust the tank to the preferred tension after putting it on. This level of stability was impossible with previous BC Jacket. Also, in addition to TUSA's own O.P.E.V. system, two dump valves has been added to allow a rapid pressure exhaust in any position. The weight system with its quick-release function, provides comfort and outstanding weight balance.
Independent Harness System [PAT.]
The Ultimate Stabilizing Harness makes possible extremely accurate fitting and the two separate rails prevent tank-roll. The BCJ-3800 has improved on this feature even further, by employing an independent Harness System which separates the main bladder unit and the harness system. Since the shoulder strap attaches directly to the harness, tank movement is completely eliminated, both on land and underwater. The harness padded soft cover is made from non float and non water absorbent material, so that, it does not effect buoyancy control.
Weight Loading System
In the new design, the weight loading system has evolved into a buckle type. Setting weight has become even easier than in conventional products. The construction allows the diver to insert weights into the weight-cartridges as well as into the loading pockets on the front of the jacket. Additionally, with weight distribution to the shoulder area, the weighed-down feeling that traditionally associated with weight belt is eliminated. Four kilograms(maximum: 6kg) of weight can be placed in each of the left and right sides, and the two service pockets on the rear side of the jacket can each hold up to one kilogram(maximum: 2kg) of additional weight. (Total recommended weight: 10kg; maximum: 16kg.) Naturally, the weight cartridge is easy to release in an emergency, but the safety lock makes sure that it is not released accidentally.
Waist Support System [PAT. P.]
The bottom of the shoulder straps can be attached in either of two positions which are appropriate to the conditions of use and the body type of the diver, thus improving the fit.
Tank Suspension System (T.S.S.) [PAT. P.]
The TUSA BCJ-3850 is equipped with a new innovative Tank Suspension System. The T.S.S. system holds the tank more securely and tightly against your back to reduce tank movement. The belt is placed on the valve section on the top of the tank and pulled tight to fasten the tanks on the body. it includes a tank hold unit that lets you tighten and retain the tanks in the ideal position.
Dump Valves
In addition to TUSA's own O.P.E.V. system, the two dump valves at the shoulders and one at the lower back allow a rapid pressure exhaust from any position.
