Halcyon ERA Standard BC System: Complete Kit with Lightweight Aluminum Backplate

Halcyon ERA BC: The Perfect Aluminum BC for Travel

Unlike most traditional BC systems, which offer a heavy and bulky "all-in-one" design, the Halcyon ERA Standard BC System represents a superior engineering philosophy. Designed to deliver maximum performance, durability, and customization, this complete system is your passport to unparalleled diving. By combining the lightness of an aluminum backplate with the efficiency of the ERA wing, this BC concentrates buoyancy on your back, pushing you into an ideal horizontal trim position that reduces in-water drag and optimizes your air consumption.

Components of the Standard BC System (Aluminum Version)

This complete BC is an agile and reliable system, composed of the following elements:

• Halcyon ERA Wing with 30 lbs or 40 lbs of lift. The heart of the system, with its revolutionary shape and integrated Opti-Weight pockets.
• Aluminum Backplate (Standard, Small, or Large), to ensure stability and lightness for travel.
• Secure Harness in a single piece of webbing, infinitely adjustable for a perfect fit.
• 2 Single-tank cam bands with the Octogrip anti-slip system.
• Stainless steel Single Tank Adapter (STA) with an integrated anti-slip system.
• MC Storage Pack for stowing a lift bag/SMB.
• All the necessary stainless steel hardware for secure assembly, including retainers, D-rings, a crotch strap, and screws.
• Halcyon Travel Bag included.

Evolve Your Kit: Upgrades and Customizations

The beauty of a Halcyon system is that it's never definitive. You can customize and upgrade your BC with numerous accessories and enhancements:

• Add ACB (Active Control Ballast) pockets for quick weight management.
• Insert a weighted insert directly into the single tank adapter (STA).
• Choose a stainless steel backplate for greater stability or a carbon fiber backplate with the integrated Cinch quick-adjust system.
• Personalize the wing with colors, text of your choice, and the official 3D logo, as shown in the online configurator.

The ERA system is available in two lift options: 30 lbs or 40 lbs, to suit different diving styles and weights. The inflator with a 52 cm / 22-inch LP hose comes standard on all Halcyon wings.

The standard version of the wing is black and features a black 3D Halcyon logo. If you want an extra touch, you can create a customized wing with colored embroidery and logos.

Customized bladders also feature the "Halcyon" lettering in 3D on one side. You can choose the color of the logo, the webbing, and the lettering based on the available options.

You can customize your BC in two ways:

1. Configure and pay directly from this page. After completing your purchase, our team will contact you to define all the customization details and confirm your choices.

2. Contact us with the code generated by the Halcyon configurator to proceed with your order. This method gives you maximum freedom of choice before finalizing the purchase.

Production times for custom systems are approximately 4 weeks, not including shipping time. According to the brand's new policies, embroidery is only possible on one side of the wing.
