Apeks WSX-45 Sidemount System

The Apeks WSX-45 Sidemount System is a complete package. It includes the bladder, harness with crotch strap, D-rings, bungee, and accessory butt pack. This system provides everything you need for comfortable and streamlined sidemount diving.

The bladder utilises Armoguard. This super-tough material is typically used in public safety diving and military products. Consequently, this smooth material offers ten times more abrasion resistance than standard Cordura. Many other sidemount harness bladders use Cordura. Therefore, this wing is specifically designed for serious sidemount diving.

Apeks introduces the brand-new and unique “SlideLock” sliding D-ring. This innovative feature allows divers to easily change cylinder positions. Buoyancy changes during the dive necessitate this adjustment. There is no need to clip cylinders on and off. Simply adjust the D-ring's position while you are diving.

The two-piece plate system is adjustable. It can accommodate any torso length, making this a one-size-fits-all harness. Furthermore, the WSX features individual webbing sections. This is different from one long piece running through the harness. As a result, the complete Apeks WSX-45 Sidemount System can be adjusted quickly and easily.

Apeks WSX-45 Bladder Features:

• Provides 200N (45lbs) lift.
• Armoguard protects against abrasions in confined spaces.
• The reversible inflator can be mounted on the left, right, or upper left shoulder.
• Grommets at lower corners allow bungee mounting. This keeps the bladder streamlined to your body.

WSX-45 Harness Features:

• Solid 5cm (2”) webbing comes pre-assembled for convenience.
• Features a removable 2” (5cm) soft webbing crotch strap.
• Includes 4x 5cm (2”) stainless steel D-rings: 2 angled on shoulders, 1 angled and 1 flat on the crotch strap.
• Offers 2x “SlideLock” sliding stainless steel D-rings on the waist strap. These allow easy cylinder adjustment during dives.
• Provides 2x stainless steel drop D-rings along the lower back. These are for the included butt pack, marker buoys, reels, or other accessories.
• Features a heavy-duty stainless steel waist buckle for secure fastening.
• The two-piece stainless steel plate allows torso length adjustment. It fits any diver comfortably.
• A zippered Butt Pack with stainless steel snap hooks is included.
• Weight pouches are mounted on the spine strap for balanced weight distribution.
• The system comes complete with two sizes of bungee and five stainless steel bolt snaps.
• Two grommet strips allow divers to adjust weight pouch and bladder position. This is based on their specific requirements.
• Additional trim pockets are available separately for further customisation.
