01. Info
The Guardian is a back-inflated scuba BCD that pairs a rear-mounted wing with a quick-adjust harness: you get the clean horizontal trim and low drag of a backplate-and-wing setup, without the fiddly webbing adjustments of a traditional rig. With the air cell behind you and your chest unobstructed, holding flat trim through the whole dive comes naturally. Four backplate materials let you tune ballast and travel weight, and two lift capacities — 25 lbs and 32 lbs — let you match your cylinder setup and exposure suit.
