HD Mini Retractor by XS Scuba
XS Scuba HD Mini Retractor: Heavy Duty Hold in a Small Package
Medium-sized dive lights can be awkward to secure. They are often too heavy for standard retractors, causing them to droop and drag across the reef, yet they don't require a massive industrial tether. The XS Scuba HD Mini Retractor fills this gap perfectly. It keeps the compact profile of the popular Mini model but upgrades the internal spring and external hardware to handle heavier equipment.
More Muscle for Medium Gear
A sagging light is a hazard to both the diver and the environment. XS Scuba increased the retraction power on this unit to a stout 16 oz (approx. 453 g). This stronger spring force effectively holds medium-sized flashlights, specifically those in the 3C to 8AA battery range, keeping them tucked tight against your BCD when not in use.
Upgraded Attachment
Thick D-rings on technical harnesses or heavy-duty BCDs can sometimes be too thick for standard clips. The HD Mini solves this with a larger 1-inch (25 mm) snap clip. This robust attachment point makes it easy to clip the retractor on and off, even if you are wearing thick neoprene or drysuit gloves.
Built Tough
Reliability is key underwater. The extendable line is made from a durable Spectra/Nylon blend with a 60 lb (approx. 27 kg) breaking strength. It offers 22 inches (approx. 56 cm) of extension, which is slightly shorter than the Standard Mini to accommodate the heavier spring tension. This length provides ample reach for using your light or checking a gauge while minimizing the amount of loose line floating around you.
Keep your medium-sized gear streamlined and secure. Order the XS Scuba HD Mini Retractor today!
