Dive Rite has redesigned their XL Horizontal Bellows Pocket, using their SuperFabric® brand technology XT material on the front, 1000 denier ballistic nylon on the sides and back, and with contrasting top and front heavy duty red zippers. The SuperFabric® XT material creates an armor-clad outer shell that is impervious to damaging pinches and cuts, resulting in an extremely rugged pocket.

The extra large bellows pocket allows a sidemount diver to carry everything they need for a dive, including spools, notebook, back-up lights, lift bags or SMBs, and more. In addition to the internal pocket, a smaller, zippered compartment provides additional storage for small items like arrows and cookies. With two compartments, smaller items can be separated in the front with larger items in the main compartment. A { 36 in | 91 cm } lanyard is included and can be attached to loops on the inside of the large compartment and tied with the knot of your choice. This allows the diver to attach tools and gear so items can be quickly deployed.

Dive Rite has also added two stainless steel { 1 in | 2.5 cm } D-rings on the back to allow the pocket to be used as a butt mount when sidemount diving or if you just prefer that placement. Hanging behind the diver on the lower back makes good use of an area that is often overlooked. Two { 2.0 in | 5.0 cm } nylon webbing loops on the back of the pocket slide over a standard 2-inch webbing strap for waist mounting. A single clip mounting option is also possible by attaching a double ended snap to two { 1.0 in | 2.5 cm } loops on the back. A heavy duty mesh panel allows for quick draining.

The XL Horizontal Bellows Pocket is { 10 in x 6.0 in | 25 cm x 15 cm } and the internal depth expands from { 0.5 in to 2.5 in | 1.3 cm to 6.4 cm }.
