Aqua Lung GripLock Tank Band Assembly For Non-Wrapture System BCD

I replaced the lower tank band of my BC with this and very pleased with the results. When changing over tanks it's much easier now as I don't need to lift the BC as high over the tank valve. It's secure and easy to use.

I bought 2 of these to replace the standard straps on my Zeagle Stiletto BS. They are jst a little more narrow but the holding power is great. I did leave the rubber strap taht was part of the original Zeagle setup and combining that with the piece of rubber in the Aqualung clasp and the tank will go nowhere. If I buy another BC that does not have these I will upgrade them immediatly.

I removed my old strap and replaced it with this one. I used tweezers to pull the strap into my old BCD. I then took it to my scuba shop. The man helped adjust my strap to the perfect size for a tank. Make sure to adjust your strap ahead of a trip since this may be tricky to do on a rocky boat. This strap held my tank really well and the tank did not move at all. It was really easy to snap onto the tank as well. My old plastic strap had just worn out. I am glad I replaced it with this strap since it is really nice and works well. It is also easy to snap onto your tank. Being a smaller women I had no issues getting it tight enough on my tank.

As the title says, it's the best upgrade I ever did to my BCD. I recently bought a backplate/wing (BP/W) setup which had a closed loop type of band where you have to put your BP/W over the tank to secure it. Man that was annoying.I bought 2 of these, and changing tanks is easier than ever. Plus the presets are on point and secure.

I was nervous about purchasing this as I wasn't sure if it was the right strap for my new BCD. The band is adjustable, and took about 3 minutes to install. Booked a dive, packed the original strap just in case, and headed to the boat. the original strap never made it out of my dive bag. I'd rented steel 100 tanks, and actually had to adjust the strap a wee bit smaller. Why this isn't standard on every BCD is beyond me. If you're considering this, just get it. you'll be very very pleased. and now that my surface interval is over... Dive! dive! dive!!

My scuba Pro has a similar setupMy current xdeep didn't this is a life saver4 stars because velcro latching loosens up a bit

I use an 8 inch diameter steel 133 tank for Diving and lifting my BC off the tank was a pain with my old tank bands. Having buckles that completely disconnect from each other (rather than just cam open) saves time and effort in changing tanks. I'm glad to have found theses tank bands which I installed on my Dive Rite TransPac.

The GripLock band is very secure and easily clamped. Very simple installation. The finger saving design is much appreciated. I have not had a tank slip since installing the band. Makes switching tanks very easy compared to the original bands supplied with most BCD's. Purchased as a replacement a year ago and the product shows no wear at all despite over 100 dives in all conditions. The band is easily adjusted for different sized tanks without having to re-string the band through the buckle. Makes changing over to a new tank while on a boat, very easy.
