Probe LX size adjustment?

[LarryHinDC]

I just got back from my first dive trip with my new Probe LX BCD. It worked great; the only problem was that I've lost some weight since I bought it and now it's hard to get the cummerbund snug enough. Is there a way to adjust it so that the BCD fits snugger?

Thanks.

Hi Larry. If you grab either side of the cummerbund and follow it around to the rigid backplate, you will see that the cummerbund is "threaded" into three large slots. In the factory setting, the attached end of the cummberbund is folded under the bulk of the fabric. If you remove this completely from the backplate, you will be able to rethread it very much like you would put a buckle on a new weightbelt. This should allow you to slightly shorten the cummerbund. Do a little on each side of the vest.

If you have lost considerable weight, you may run into a problem of the ends of the jacket panels coming to close to one another in the front. If that is the situation, you may be forced to liquidate that jacket and get another in a smaller size.

If you have any questions, please fell free go give me a call. I will do what I can to help you. Thanks.
