BCA Avy vest questions

[Jay]

Been thinking of getting a BCA Avy vest. I live in Smithers, B.C. Canada. Where would be a good place to buy one and what would be the easiest way to get the cylinders recharged? I don't know where the nearest recharge shop is, maybe that bicycle pump thing? or whatever I would need to recharge at home, cylinders, adapters that sort of thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jay

I just had mine refilled at a dive shop.

No idea where to buy up there but when it comes to refilling the tank, the easiest is just pick up a high pressure air rifle pump.

The link below is for a Benjamin air rifle, high pressure air pump that I picked up. It was the model that BCA actually suggests using and......it works!!!

No more trying to track down a dive shop or dealer to refill a tank!

Did you add the Benjamin Desiccant Kit to your pump to keep the air dry?

Also how long does it take to fill the tank with one of those?

Seems like a nice idea to have while traveling.

I have a one that is similar. If I remember right something like 325 pumps to fill a BCA canister.
