Order Summary

    Original RRP: £526.82

    Originally developed to meet the punishing demands of Navy SAR divers, the AP Commando (formerly BUDDY) went on to take the UK and northern European sport and technical diving market by storm, out-selling it's rivals for over 30 years and still going strong.

    The current series AP Commando retains the essential qualities and features on which its original success was based - such as superior build quality, lift and surface support characteristics - and adds the advantages offered by reflex technology.

    The unique AP reflex comfort-fit system allows you to adjust the jacket fit and customise it specifically to your individual shape - with a one-time simple set-up adjustment in the height position of the waistband, shoulder buckles and the backplate length.

     

    • Reflex adjustment system - allows you to fine-tune the fit at shoulders, waist and back
    • 1000 denier twin-bag construction - the toughest build quality on the market
    • Optional quick-release integrated weight pockets
    • Multiple lightweight aluminium 50mm D-rings - pre-bent to stand-off for easy clip-on
    • Option to add AP twinset cambands

    Options include:

    • APV200 Inflator or the Auto Air octo-inflator
    • Cargo Clips (standard) or Integrated Weight System
    • Emergency Mini-Cylinders - available in 232BAR or 300BAR DIN


    Sizing Considerations

    The Commando is identical in build quality, features spec and upgrade options as its stablemate the Commando Explorer, but the Commando is cut to be a taller jacket which is the better fit for divers with a long back - regardless of height. (The Commando Explorer is the best fit for a regular shorter back). Whatever your body shape - we have a Commando to fit you.


    Maximum Buoyancy

    Small - 13.87 kg   Medium - 20 kg   Large - 21.02 kg   XLarge - 25 kg   XXLarge - 32.95 kg


    Twinset Upgrade Option

    The supercam single webbing camband comes as standard. If you opt for the supercam twinset kit upgrade this is supplied in addition - allowing you to switch between single and twin cylinder setups.

    More Info

    • Unique high-traction, stabilising cylinder-cradle backplate designed to cater for different size single cylinders or twin-cylinder sets 
    • Patented stud system construction maintains the shape of the jacket and enables the tough outer bag to take the stress away from the bladder. 
    • The stud construction also offers low profile wrap-around buoyancy and rapid gas flow around the BCD which affords the diver effortless manoeuvrability underwater unhindered by trapped air pockets.
    • Foldaway dedicated SMB pouch at rear - large enough to stow an AP SMBC
    • 10 x  welded aluminium D rings with pre-bent, stand-off shoulder rings for easy location and attachment
    • Option to add AP twinset cambands

     

    • The harness mounting points are on the inside face of the jacket, allowing it to inflate away from the diver, causing a minimum amount of squeeze when inflated fully. The design provides just enough squeeze so you can feel the jacket supporting you.
    • Padded lumbar support 
    • Foldaway hose runners 
    • Unique AP twin-bag construction with bespoke Endura FX100 1000 denier coated-nylon outer bag air-tight PU welded inner bladder with lifetime warranty
    • Service zip allowing replacement/service of bladder and all valves
