Halcyon has a long history as an industry leader in BC design, offering simple and robust designs for more than a decade. Our newest innovation is Halcyon Cinch (patent pending). The Cinch redefines what it means to dive a backplate, building upon a platform of simplicity while providing unprecedented security and ease of adjustment. Halcyon developed the Cinch to save divers time and effort while sizing, fine-tuning and resizing your diving harness. Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the Cinch in a flash; all this without compromising the harness integrity or our trademark, continuous piece of webbing.
Adjustments to the Halcyon Cinch occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique, patent pending assembly. Now divers can easily adjust the fit of their plate in or out of the water – a simple push or pull is all it takes. If you need a quick way to get out of your dive system; if you regularly change the thickness of your diving suit; or if you train new students in Halcyon rental equipment, this new invention will change the way you dive.
It's a Cinch!
Just push or pull to adjust the harness
Extension bolt
The Cinch can easily be used with double cylinders. If you have shorter bolts on any set of tank bands you may need to use the extension bolt on your bottom tank band. Simply screw the extension bolt to the bottom obolt of the tank band, and set up your backplate as normal.
