HOG - Hybrid Pro 2 BCD

The Best of Both Worlds: Unmatched Stability Underwater, Effortless Comfort at the Surface

Can’t decide between a back-inflate wing or a traditional jacket-style BCD? The HOG Hybrid Pro 2 BCD eliminates the compromise. Built on the rugged, high-performance foundation of the original Hybrid Pro, the version 2 advances hybrid buoyancy design to give you a streamlined profile underwater and absolute comfort when waiting for the boat.

The Hybrid Advantage

Traditional jacket BCDs offer comfort at the surface but can feel bulky underwater. Back-inflate BCDs offer a perfect horizontal trim underwater but tend to push a diver face-forward while floating on the surface.

The HOG Hybrid Pro 2 solves this by combining a back-buoyancy air cell with unique chambers that wrap smoothly under the arms.

• Underwater: Buoyancy stays close to your center of gravity, delivering an effortless, streamlined horizontal trim and rock-solid stability at depth.

• At the Surface: When fully inflated, the under-arm wrap-around chambers dynamically shift your center of buoyancy, keeping you securely, vertically, and effortlessly upright without the dreaded "face-plant" tendency.

What’s New in Version 2?

The definitive upgrade for the Hybrid Pro 2 centers on utility, storage, and weight distribution:

• Upgraded Quick-Release Weight Integration: Features newly designed, secure, and intuitive quick-release weight pockets capable of holding up to 10 lbs per side (20 lbs total), giving you instant ditch-capability in emergencies.

• Built-In Expandable Utility Pockets: Never sacrifice storage for weight capacity. Positioned right on the weight integration panels are built-in, expandable utility pockets. They sit flat and streamlined when empty, but expand easily to hold your slates, backup lights, or SMBs when you need them.
