Oceanic Isla QLR
Designed exclusively for women, the ISLA BC was the first BC of its kind made from revolutionary BioFlex material. An advanced composite material invented by Oceanic, BioFlex holds worldwide patents as the only stretch BC bladder material available today.

Two different types of this incredible material are engineered with various degrees of stretch to maximize lift and eliminate squeeze. BioFlex has omni directional stretch giving it maximum expansion capabilities. Velvet-like BioFlex Velour, used on interior surfaces, has unidirectional stretch to limit squeeze while providing a soft lining against your skin.

The ISLA may be quite simply the most comfortable BC you have ever worn. The built-in flexibility of the BioFlex material allows you to move unencumbered while on land or underwater. Even though BioFlex is extremely strong, it stretches wherever it is stressed, making it feel more comfortable than any other BC. Even when fully inflated, BioFlex is still comfortable because the material is so flexible.

A long list of unique features makes the ISLA second to none. Soft edged and padded shoulder straps are attached to our patented Adjustable Positioning System (A.P.S.), providing over four inches of adjustment. Padded lumbar support and a convenient carrying handle are built-in to our molded backpack. Expandable zippered pockets provide easy access and a secure closure. The bladder is scalloped over the hips for improved fit and comfort.

New Features for 2003 include updated styling, standard Quick Lock Release (QLR) weight integrated system, expandable zippered pockets, front operated pull-dump, and much more.
