BCD SET START MONO (Donut 13) – Tecline

The Tecline BCD Set Start Mono is a complete modular back-mounted system, specifically designed as the perfect starting point for recreational divers who want to make the big leap from the classic Jacket (traditional BCD) to a modular configuration (wing, backplate, and harness).

Simple, robust, and dive-ready, this kit offers all the hydrodynamic and trim benefits of technical systems, while maintaining maximum practicality thanks to an adjustable harness equipped with quick-release buckles. Furthermore, the fully modular nature of the system allows it to be expanded and modified over time with any other accessory from the Tecline catalog.

Technical Specifications of Components:

Tecline Donut 13 Mono Wing:

Classic wing for single tank diving with a 13-liter capacity. Its donut shape promotes uniform gas distribution for optimal trim control.

• Construction: High-strength double layer (inner bladder for maximum airtightness + robust Cordura outer shell).
• Integrated Adapter: Includes a soft single tank adapter that allows for direct attachment of the tank block.
• Details: Rapid dump valve (OPV) positioned on the lower left side, dedicated slots for cam band routing, and included LP inflator hose.
• Corrugated Hose Option: When purchasing, the inflator assembly can be chosen with a standard corrugated hose or with an oval corrugated hose (more flexible and hydrodynamic).
• Warranty: An exceptional 5-year warranty on the inner bladder and valves.

Tecline 3mm Stainless Steel Backplate:

A heavy rigid plate that ensures millimeter stability for the tank.

• Material: 3mm thick stainless steel.
• Weight: Approximately 2 kg, ideal for acting as intrinsic ballast distributed on the back and optimizing balance.

Adjustable Quick-Release Harness (QR Harness):

The heart of comfort for this set. Designed to overcome the rigidity of purist technical harnesses, this version combines the clean look of the 50mm webbing with everyday practicality.

• QR (Quick Release) System: Equipped with 2 Delrin buckles with a quick-release and adjustment system on the shoulder straps. They allow for instant size adjustment depending on the thickness of the wetsuit and for removing or donning the set in a second, ideal on boats or dinghies.
