TECLINE Crotch Strap

Crotch Strap - Tecline

The Tecline crotch strap is the accessory that transforms a simple harness into a professional and stable diving system. Its main function is to connect the lower part of the backplate to the waist strap, passing between the diver's legs. This prevents the equipment from sliding upwards during a vertical ascent or swaying sideways while swimming.

Description:

• Total Stability: Keeps the backplate-wing system perfectly secure on the body, ensuring that buoyancy (trim) remains unchanged regardless of the position adopted.
• Comfort and Safety: Prevents the BCD from pressing against the neck or helmet when on the surface and ensures the plate remains firmly attached to the back when using a DPV (diver propulsion vehicle).
• Technical Materials: Made with high-strength nylon webbing, designed to be robust yet flexible so as not to restrict movement.

Key Features:

Integrated D-Rings: Typically includes two D-rings:

• Front: Positioned just below the waist buckle, ideal for towing with a DPV (underwater scooter).
• Rear: Positioned at the base of the backplate, useful for attaching additional equipment or a surface marker buoy.

Universal Compatibility: Easily installs on any standard backplate and 50 mm webbing.

Wetsuit Protection: The webbing's weave is designed to minimize friction and wear on neoprene or drysuits.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Nylon webbing and stainless steel components.
• Width: 50 mm (standard).
• Adjustability: Fully adjustable in length to fit divers of all sizes and suit types.

Why is it essential?

In DIR configuration and technical diving, the crotch strap is not optional. It is what allows the diver to remain perfectly horizontal effortlessly, eliminating the "floating" effect of the equipment on the back. It is the secret to high-level stability.
