Description
Build Your Hollis. Build It Your Way.
The Hollis CRIB Custom Single Tank BP/Wing Package gives divers the freedom to create a complete backplate-and-wing system tailored to their diving environment, exposure protection, travel needs, and personal style.
Rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all BCD, the CRIB system allows you to choose the components that work best for you—from the lift capacity and backplate material to the harness configuration, tank bands, accessories, and colors.
The result is a clean, streamlined single-tank setup designed to provide excellent stability, precise buoyancy control, and a secure, comfortable fit.
Choose Your Wing
Select the lift capacity that best matches your typical diving:
Hollis ST22 Wing – 22 Pounds of Lift
The compact ST22 is an excellent choice for warm-water diving, lightweight exposure protection, travel, and single aluminum-cylinder configurations.
Hollis ST35 Wing – 35 Pounds of Lift
The ST35 provides additional lift for cold-water diving, thicker exposure protection, additional equipment, or heavier single steel cylinders.
Both Hollis ST wings feature a rugged 1680D Cordura outer shell protecting a 420D nylon internal bladder. Integrated stabilizing rods help control unwanted cylinder movement, while two tank-height adjustment positions allow divers to fine-tune trim.
Select Your Backplate
Aluminum Backplate 2.0
At approximately 1.5 pounds, the aluminum Backplate 2.0 provides a lightweight foundation that is ideal for travel or divers who do not need additional ballast.
Stainless-Steel Backplate 2.0
At approximately 6.5 pounds, the stainless-steel Backplate 2.0 adds useful weight directly to the diver’s centerline. This can reduce the amount of lead required elsewhere and is especially useful for cold-water or drysuit diving.
Both backplates feature precision construction and padded upper and lower sections for added comfort.
Choose Your Harness
Hollis Solo Harness
The Solo is a streamlined, continuous-webbing harness designed for simplicity, reliability, and minimal failure points. Its one-size configuration can be adjusted to fit the individual diver.
Hollis Elite 2 Adjustable Harness
The Elite 2 adds adjustable shoulder sections and a chest strap for easier donning and doffing. It is a strong option for divers who frequently transition between different exposure suits or prefer the convenience of a more adjustable harness.
Both configurations include stainless-steel hardware, multiple D-rings, shoulder padding, a crotch strap, and a durable stainless-steel waist buckle.
