KISS Sidewinder Counterlung (replacement)

Maintain your KISS Sidewinder CCR with this high-quality, aftermarket replacement counterlung. Built to meet or exceed original specifications, this lung offers the durability and reliability required for demanding technical diving environments. We have focused on material selection and precise construction to deliver a product you can trust for your underwater adventures.

Robust Outer Shell (Cordura® 1000D)

The outer lung is constructed from premium black 1000-denier Cordura® . This material is chosen for its:

• Superior Abrasion Resistance: Withstands rough handling, contact with rocks, boat decks, and cave environments, significantly extending the life of the counterlung.

• Structural Integrity: Provides a stable, protective casing for the inner bladder, reducing stress on the airtight layer.

Airtight & Durable Inner Bladder (210D Nylon / TPU)

The heart of the counterlung is the replaceable inner bladder, expertly fabricated from 210-denier nylon fabric with a specialized TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) coating . This material system offers:

• Excellent Airtightness: The TPU coating provides a reliable, gas-tight seal, ensuring minimal work of breathing and consistent loop volume .

• Proven Material: 210D nylon offers an ideal balance of lightweight flexibility and tear strength for the bladder.

• Compatible Manufacturing: This material is specifically designed to be durable and compatible with the welding techniques used in high-quality inflatable products .

Precision Components (POM Connectors)

All hard connection points, including inlet/outlet ports, are precision-machined from POM (Polyoxymethylene) . This engineering plastic is the ideal choice because it is:

• Corrosion-Proof: Unlike metal fittings, POM will never corrode in the saltwater environment, ensuring reliable sealing and a long service life.

• Strong & Stable: Offers excellent dimensional stability and strength, providing a secure mounting point for hose attachments.

This replacement counterlung is a direct, high-performance alternative, allowing you to keep your Sidewinder in service with confidence.
