MARES PRESTIGE MRS PLUS BC
The jacket-style Prestige MRS Plus has been updated and refined, says Mares. It has a 1000 denier Cordura outer shell with a bigger bladder to give 24kg of lift in XL size. Comfort is said to have been enhanced by adding a pivoting buckle system and extra padding on shoulder-straps in “perfect symmetry†with the wearers upper body.
The back area has extra padding and a non-slip coating. The new inflator is said to be more ergonomic than its predecessor. Completing the package are integrated weights with a capacity of 6kg per side and two trim-weight pockets taking 2kg each, along with two large 3D pockets, knife-retainer and four stainless-steel D-rings, and it all costs £310.
