<p>Halcyon have bought out the popular Cinch harness adjustment system for small back plates. It fits both aluminium and stainless steel back plates. The Cinch can be used with both single and double cylinders. (Pictured right)</p>
<p>The Halcyon Quick-adjust harness sets a new standard in recreational and technical BC systems. The Cinch can be used with single or double tanks and allows easy harness adjustability while avoiding “quick-release” buckles and dangling webbing. Simply push or pull the webbing and your size adjustment is complete. This quick, easy-fit system allows divers to size a snug harness without compromising easy removability. It is also ideal for student training and rental departments, or for divers that wear suits of varying thickness. The system is easily adjustable in or out of the water, making it ideal for convenient, in-water equipment removal. The Cinch is also very effective during emergency situations.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Save up to £265</strong></span> <strong>with your drysuit purchase. </strong></h5>
<p><strong>Ursuit undersuits are unique. They are not only warm and well made:</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft" src="http://silentplanet.info/images/ursuit/undersuits/group_undersuits.png" alt="" width="174" height="202" /></strong><strong>Ursuit&#8217;s Finnfill undersuit has one major difference: </strong> Unlike thinsulate and other insulation fabrics, Finnfill does not lose its insulation capacity even after many times of washing.  Click here for <a href="http://www.silentplanet.info/images/ursuit/undersuits/finnfillENG.pdf" target="_blank">full technical spec</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Finnfill also keeps most of its insulation capacity when completely wet</strong>. The insulation of X-Tex Finnfill is measured in Clo-units. “Clo” is a measurement of the thermal comfort of a suit when it is in the water. The larger the Clo number, the longer the survival time in the water.  By way of comparison, 200gsm thinsulate has a Clo value of 0.6, and 400gsm thinsulate has a Clo value of 1.3.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://silentplanet.info/images/ursuit/suits/group_suits.png" alt="" width="266" height="164" /></p>
<p>Offer available until 30th September 2010 subject to availability.</p>
