Streamlined, stable, and fully customizable, the Mares High Volume Single BackMount Set is designed for divers who prioritize perfect trim and reliable buoyancy control. With a high-lift donut wing and a rugged stainless steel backplate, it delivers confidence and comfort across a wide range of diving conditions.
Product Overview
If clean configuration, balanced trim, and modularity are your priorities, the HV Single Backmount Set is built to support them. Its streamlined design minimizes drag while providing stable buoyancy and precise control throughout the dive.
The high-volume donut-style bladder provides 17.5 kg (170 N) of lift, supporting consistent trim at any depth. A tough 1000D Cordura outer shell resists abrasion and wear, while the 210D Nylon inner bladder keeps overall weight manageable. The K-Style Power Inflator with an oval-shaped corrugated hose allows smooth and intuitive air adjustment.
A 3 mm stainless steel backplate (2.1 kg) with rounded edges improves comfort and stability, and the bladder height can be adjusted using flat-head bolt screws. The fully adjustable XR harness features stainless steel D-rings, trigliders, and a robust metal waist buckle. The set weighs 4.5 kg and is available in Silver or Orange.
