Questions & Answers

TREVOR M : What kind of weights fit in those pockets and how much fits? Thanks!darrick c : Hello Trevor, you have Releasable: 20 to 30 lbs (9 to 13.5kg) Non-Releasable: 10 lbs (4.5kg). Any weight either hard lead or the soft bag weights would work in this. I like the soft bag weight since they will contour better while sitting in the weight pockets.MATTHEW F : I have used 2 5lbs soft weights in each side for a total of 20lbs. I've also used hard weights, they both fit just fine.Michael T : I have this bcd and I like to weigh myself down for lobster hunting. I have 1-6lb and 1-2lb in each pocket also 1 2lb in each of the back pockets with is a total of 20lbs. If I'm using a steel tank I'll remove the back weights. All lead shot weightsROSTON H : Soft or hard weights, I have 7lbs soft weight in each side for a total of 14lbs. It will probably hold 9lbs in each side.
TREVOR M : I'm a little concerned about those weights coming loose.  Is that a known issue or is it rare and diver error? Also, just getting back into diving and use to use Scubapro vest style, I believe the "Classic".......wondering if I should switch to this Axiom.  Im not sure if that was a question or if I'm just thinking out loud.......LOL.darrick c : Hello Trevor, as long as the weight pockets are locked into place before you dive, these should stay in place and not fall out.
DENNIS K : What is the over the shoulder measurement for the Aqualung Axiom BC Size Chart?Mario C : from front to back of waist. picture on link below <a href="https://us.aqualung.com/en/BC132.html" target="_blank">https://us.aqualung.com/en/BC132.html</a> ( click on size guide)
d s : what would be the cost to upgrade to include an integrated air inflator (doubles as a secondary emergency octopus as well as an inflator for the bdc?Mario C : just need the aqualung airsource. Check price on the link below:
William b : full jacket inflate?WILLIAM M : No, it inflates in the back and lower front portion only. Due to the weight integration system, it does want to force you to float on your stomach. You have to shift yourself to float on your back. It’s not a big issue but if you’re new to diving, you need to be aware of it. I think you’ll find this to be the case with most bc jackets.DANIEL Z : Yes.

About Aqualung Axiom BC Black/Charcoal/Blue Large

The Axiom is a durable, full-featured BC that boasts amazing comfort and fit. This ADV style, wrap-around jacket has a super streamlined air cell and gets its noticeable comfort and support from Aqualung's proprietary Wrapture harness system (pat. pend.). The Wrapture allows you to stand up straight in total comfort while the cylinder remains perfectly vertical and pulled in close. This comfort, along with the innovative GripLock tank band and the SureLock integrated weight system will make the Axiom the new standard for recreational divers. The Axiom comes in multiple sizes and colors.

Wrapture Harness System (pat. pend.) Using patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra-thin back plate, the Wrapture provides unsurpassed comfort and stability. Wrapture prevents the BC from riding-up" on the surface. Out of the water, the Wrapture keeps the cylinder close to your center of gravity and transfers the weight to your hips. The result is the ability to stand up straight with a cylinder that is perfectly vertical.

SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System (patented) provides a safe, single-pull release. Inserting weight is as simple as insert and click". With SureLock, your weights are secure in the BC. Once engaged, the only way to release the weight is to pull on the handle. The Sure-Lock II Mechanical Weight Release System with 20 to 30 lbs. (9 to 13.5 kg) Capacity (sizes dependent). The Axiom also has fixed non-releasable weight pockets attached to the cylinder band with capacities of 10 lbs. (4.5kg).

The GripLock Tank Band is a strong, secure way to attach the cylinder to the BC. Gone are the days of complicated web weaving through multi-slot buckles. Predetermined detente settings make set-up simple. No adjustments are necessary when switching cylinders of the same diameter. Best of all, you don't have to worry about pinching your fingers with GripLock's innovative finger saver feature (pat. pend.).

A bladder retraction system is used to pull in the sides of the bladder during deflation. This keeps unit streamlined and reduces drag. An adjustable chest strap can be raised or lowered on a rail system. This not only ensures a good fit but also keeps strap from running across top of a dry suit valve. A scooped octo-pocket on the top, front of the right lobe makes it easy to stow and deploy an octopus. The octopus remains visible and accessible throughout the dive. Some divers may find it useful to run their instruments behind the left pocket and out the scooped opening on the top, front of the lobe. Pocket within a pocket A small security pocket is found on the flap of a larger drop-down pocket. Knife attachment points are found on the left lobe which will accommodate many of the Aqualung knives. This location provides easy access to the knife. BC features 5 stainless steel D-rings and 2 plastic D-rings for all your accessories.

The Axiom comes equipped with Aqualungs Power Line Inflator with an increased fill rate which is now, one of the highest air flows in the industry.
