The new SLS Slide and Lock System is the latest generation ballast system from Mares. The system uses a mechanical interference based system that during insertion pushes the holdin g prongs into position and prevents them from retracting. During release, it does not only eliminate the interference, but also pulls the prongs inwards via a system of sliding surfaces, ensuring that the male and female buckles can be removed.Ease of use is ensured by a large handle and a tunnel on the jacket which controls the insertion of the ballast pocket so that the male buckle is aligned with the female. A finger is then used to push the slider in, which is followed by a loud "click" but also by the appearance of a green closed padlock in a special window that replaces a red open padlock.The small pocket has a capacity of 4kg/9lb and a heavy duty zip. The Large pocket has a capacity of 6kg/13lbThe main features of the SLS ballast system are:- Robust zipped pocket- Easy to slide into the pocket- Visual aid to check that the system is attached correctly- Avoids unwanted release of weight pockets- Easy to use with thick gloves Show more
