Navigator Lite BCD by Scubapro
Foldable Travel Armor with Rock-Solid Back-Inflation Lift
Most lightweight travel BCDs force you to compromise: to save pounds in your suitcase, you usually end up with a flimsy harness, wimpy lift capacity, and a rig that flops around underwater. The Scubapro Navigator Lite throws those trade-offs out the window. Engineered around a soft, PU-coated foldable backpack, it rolls down compact to stash effortlessly in your luggage and sheds water fast so you aren't paying overweight fees on your flight home. But the second you hit the water, it performs like a full-sized workhorse—delivering a generous 38.2 pounds of back-inflated lift. Three flat bungee retraction straps keep the 420D nylon bladder tight and hydrodynamic against your cylinder, giving you zero drag and effortless horizontal trim without the taco-shell squeeze.
Convertible Ballast Pockets and Pro-Level Customization
Why let a single broken strap or worn pad retire your entire BCD? The Navigator Lite is built on a fully modular platform, meaning the shoulder straps, back padding, cummerbund, and even the air cell can be easily swapped out if damaged. It also introduces a first-of-its-kind custom aesthetic to the Scubapro lineup: replaceable air cell covers in various colorways so you can color-coordinate your entire kit. Down below, the cummerbund features dual detachable pockets that can be mounted facing up to store slates and reels, or flipped facing down to act as quick-release ballast weight pouches. Add in Scubapro’s Quick Cinch tank buckle teamed with rubber-insert grip bands, and your cylinder stays locked dead-center in any current.
Features
- Foldable Travel-Ready Backplate: Soft, PU-coated flexible backpack folds flat for effortless packing, resists saltwater saturation, and dries fast for travel.
- Streamlined 38.2 lb Back-Inflation Bladder: Heavy-duty 420D nylon air cell with high-frequency welds provides generous lift, controlled by three flat bungee straps to eliminate excess profile drag.
- 2-in-1 Convertible Cummerbund Pockets: Innovative detachable pockets can be installed opening-up for utility storage or opening-down to serve as quick-release weight ballast.
- Customizable Air Cell Covers: Personalize your rig with interchangeable colored air cell covers (available in Black, Blue, and Coral)
- Fully Modular Harness Architecture: Built for long-term durability; easily replace back padding, cummerbunds, shoulder straps, tank cinches, or the bladder if worn or damaged.
- No-Slip Quick Cinch Tank System: Features a 50mm hook-and-loop tank band reinforced with dual high-grip rubber inserts for rock-solid cylinder stabilization.
- Expandable Custom Sizing: Available in two overlapping, highly adjustable sizes (XXS–M and M–XXL) to guarantee a tailored, slop-free fit across different exposure suits.
- Inflator Choice: Available with Scubapro’s ergonomic Balanced Power Inflator (BPI) or the integrated AIR2 alternate air source inflator.
