Hollis Katana 2 Sidemount BCD

Your Dive. With A Side of Air.

The Katana 2 harness sets a standard in sidemount diving. Designed in collaboration with Edd Sorenson from Cave Adventurers, we developed a unique “Quick Fit System” which allows users to easily tailor the one-size-fits-all harness to their specific size or adjustment preference in a matter of minutes. We added more lift, more weight capacity, single and dual bladder options and the best quality materials Hollis has always been known for. Katana 2 is also the first sidemount harness in the world to be designed with closed circuit sidemount capability, with integrated mounts for the popular KISS sidewinder. Katana 2 breaks away from traditional designs and offers more customization and versatility.

• “QFS” Quick Fit System offers fine tuning of the torso height between small and large divers for a true one size fits all 
• Design allows for an “H” or “Y” style harness configuration, depending on user preference
• Lift capacity is 40lbs with innovative wing design to keep diver profile even lower than the competition and without the “turtle shell effect” which causes drag
• Standard weight capacity 20lbs, to offset added buoyancy in cold water with drysuits and thick undergarments
• “H” or “Y” style harness configuration
• Easy to reach attachment points for accessories on the side of the wing
• Innovative top dump allows venting of gas with outbreaking trim or reaching behind the wing like in other designs
• Integrated side mount CCR mount
• Single bladder option ideal for recreational side mount with two cylinders or in a Drysuit for redundancy / Dual bladder option ideal for technical dives in a wetsuit
• Add on the SMS Regulator kit –preconfigured with all the necessary DCX 1st and 200LX 2ndstages, LP and HP hoses, two brass SPG’s and regulator necklace
• 20lb weight capacity
• QFS one-size-fits-all design
• 40lb lift capacity
• 2-year standard warranty
• Weight: 8.0 Lbs 

“Coolest thing about the Katana 2 is the way it ships out of the box. You can customize it to your preference thanks to the innovative harness and adaptable wing design. Technical divers love to customize their gear … and they can make all of the adjustments themselves without permanent modifications on this rig.”

DCX First Stage

The DCX high-performance, over-balanced first stage provides progressively greater intermediate pressure as depth and gas density increases for superior gas delivery under the most extreme conditions. Based on the DC1 the DCX also has a 5th low pressure port that points directly down from the first stage providing easy hose routing for backmounted doubles, sidemount or even for recreational divers. It differs from the DC1 in that it is lighter and protected by a super hard PVD* (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. PVD is by far the most durable coating available and will outlast any traditional finish. 

• Swivel turret allows for ideal low pressure hose routing
• Environmental sealing prevents internal corrosion, contaminants, and icing of the first stage
• Designed to withstand the rigorous CE standard for coldwater performance
• More streamlined internal design makes it lighter weight than previous designs
• PVD* “industrial” plating.
• Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design – As the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
• 2 HP ports and 5 LP ports for optimum hose routing
• 5th port allows for side-mount or twin cylinder set ups
• An environmentally dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping salt and contamination out. 

200LX Second Stage

Every feature and detail of this new product provides you with the confidence of 40 years of manufacturing life support systems. The 200LX can be converted from a right-handed to left-handed hose configuration, in a manner of minutes without the use of specialty tools or calibration. The valve and every other metal component of the 200LX is “PVD” Industrial Plated, added to outperform and outlast any other regulator finish.

• Pneumatically balanced PVD plated brass valve results in smooth, easy breathing
• Reversible demand valve, can be converted from right-handed hose configuration to left-handed hose configuration
• Diver adjustable inhalation knob, allows diver to customize inhalation effort
• Adjustable Dive/Pre-Dive switch: Large Venturi lever has a soft rubber grip, which makes it easy to locate and use
• Ergonomic exhaust channels bubbles away from field of view and reduces exhaust effort
• Improved orthodontic mouthpiece with dual color tabs
• PVD plated stainless steel metal ring, adjustable knob and Dive/Pre-Dive end cap
