Armadillo Sidemount Exploration Harness A2


For years the Armadillo Sidemount Exploration Harness was the ultimate tool for top notch explorers around the world. The new A2 model has several improvements based on user feedback:
  • Outer abrasion resistant shell is made from Cordura 2000 denier material. Wing bladder is made from RF welded CORDURA 560 with PU coating. It resists hydrolysis, low temperatures, and hydrocarbons. The kit is virtually indestructible.
  • The heavy duty inflation assembly was moved to the left side and is now interchangeable with the top dump valve. The divers can configure Armadillo as a standard wing with inflator on top and dump valve on the bottom.
  • The bottom part of the wing can be folded in half. This feature can provide better fit for thinner and smaller divers. The waist belt is removable so Armadillo A2 can also be attached to climbing harness to create more streamlined rappelling/climbing system. The light canister can be worn on the waist belt under the wing.
  • Pair of removable D-rings was added on the lower back to carry reels, cameras, lights and scientific equipment.
 
Designed mainly for side mount cave exploration, the Armadillo has evolved into a streamlined rugged system that can be used for all types of diving.
  • Extreme cave explorers can use the system as it was perfected for, tight, remote, hard-to-reach caves anywhere on the planet.
  • Rebreather divers can incorporate their CCR / SCR units as a back mount scrubber stack and side mount oxygen and diluent cylinders.
  • Exploration divers can back mount their bottom gas and side mount their decompression gases.
  • Open water divers can use the harness with a single cylinder mounted on their back.
The Armadillo system did not evolve over night; hundreds of dives over several years were conducted in multiple locations and environments. From shallow reef diving in the Florida Keys, to extreme deep cave exploration in Tennessee, high flow blue holes in the Bahamas, cold wreck diving in the Great Lakes, archeological discoveries in Mexico’s Yucatan, and swimming with hundreds of Hammerhead sharks in Coco’s Island, the Armadillo side mount harness has been tested thoroughly.
From these experiences, the Armadillo system has been perfected to provide the serious diver with a rugged tool to go where no diver has ever gone before.

The Armadillo harness is designed to fit most standard sized adults. It is not designed to fit extremely small or extra large people. Sizes from 5 feet (152 cm) tall, 115 pounds (52 kg) to 6 feet, 5 inches (196 cm) tall, 250 pounds (113 kg) should have little problem sizing the harness to fit them.

Just back from 2 weeks cave diving in the Australian desert, the Armadillo's where flawless, perfect design and construction for the tight restrictions. Only thing I wold do is place the rear Drings lower so the reels hang between the legs and not on top as they just get beaten up too much. Cheers Chris

Used the Armadillo last weekend and it is slick and streamlined. A perfect tool for sidemount, as well as a practical tool for travelling

Good easy solution, flexible, could use a little more lift, and a little less price.

Great piece of gear. Nicely constructed and at an affordable price as well. It is an absolute pleasure to dive the Armadillo system. It will see very little rest time as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for what you do.
