Description
Engineered for serious sidemount divers, the Apeks WSX-45 is a complete, ready-to-dive system that pairs bombproof construction with thoughtful adjustability. The bladder is built from Armoguard™ — a military-grade material ten times more abrasion-resistant than standard Cordura™ — so you can push through restrictions and confined spaces without a second thought.
Why Divers Choose the WSX-45
- 200N (45 lbs) of lift – More than enough buoyancy for twin-cylinder sidemount configurations
- Apeks SlideLock D-rings – Unique sliding D-rings on the waist strap let you reposition cylinders mid-dive as buoyancy changes — no clipping and unclipping required
- Reversible inflator – Mount on the left side, right side, or upper left shoulder to suit your preference
- Two-piece adjustable plate – Stainless steel plate adjusts to any torso length for a true one-size-fits-all fit
- Individual webbing sections – Quick, tool-free adjustments without threading a single continuous piece
