*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***
Now both sexes can have the best of both worlds with TWO brand-new Buoyancy Compensators featuring AERIS’ innovative Hybrid Bladder.
San Leandro, CA February 15, 2007 – AERIS has announced the launch of the ATMOS LX BC and the Contour Women’s-Specific BC. Fit, comfort, highest grade materials, reliability, a host of desirable features, and absolutely stunning designs make these two of the most anticipated new products of the year.
ATMOS LX – FOR HIM
The innovative hybrid air cell design of the ATMOS LX allows the freedom of movement and other benefits you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wrap-around design provides you more lift than most BC’s; as well as an improved, upright orientation when on the surface.
The ATMOS LX offers multiple adjustment and attachment points, allowing customization of the BC specific to the divers needs. The ATMOS LX is weight-integrated with a combination of dumpable (20 lbs.) and non-dumpable (10 lbs.) weight pockets.
KEY FEATURES
• Hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs
• Large, uniquely shaped rear-inflation bladder - Provides maximum amount of lift
• Wrap-around air lobes on each side allow for an upright position when on the surface
• QLR Positive-Lock Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 20 lbs. plus dual 5 lbs. rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
• Three (3) over pressure relief valves optimize buoyancy control
• Padded backpack with lumbar support
• Adjustable position sternum strap
• Multiple adjustment and attachment points

CONTOUR WOMEN’S-SPECIFIC DESIGN – FOR HER
Women have been asking us to create a product like this for years and the CONTOUR is the result of all the requests, test dives, focus groups, test sessions and discussions with female divers from all over the world. The demand has been growing for the CONTOUR since we unveiled it at DEMA and we’re pleased to announce that it’s now available.
More than 300 female divers, instructors and AERIS Dealers participated in a detailed survey to help develop the ultimate women's-specific BC design. Time and time again, we heard what is lacking in today's BCs designed for women - they're looking for a BC designed to fit them; not a scaled down male BC. They're looking for a BC that's comfortable, contoured in all the right places, but one that doesn't sacrifice features or functionality. They want a BC that's travel-friendly, yet rugged enough and packs the lift capacity required for daily local diving. And finally, they’re looking for something with a little style - preferably not just big swatches of pink or purple material. The CONTOUR delivers on all points, and then some.
KEY FEATURES
• Hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs
• Patented Custom Fit Harness™ multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund
• Contoured in all the right places for added comfort
• QLR Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 20 lbs. Weight pockets are loaded at a slight downward angle to aid self-loading
• Dual 5 lbs. rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
• Reinforced shoulders, padded backpack and an adjustable-position sternum strap
• Pre-bent welded stainless steel d-rings
• Large zippered pockets
• Integrated instrument retractor sleeve (retractor not included) and Silverjack BC Knife mount
