Meet the Hollis ST Elite Travel System, a streamlined single tank system designed for divers who want the comfort of a more traditional BCD-style harness combined with the stability and versatility of a backplate setup. Built around some of Hollis’s most popular single tank components, this travel-friendly system offers a balanced combination of comfort, security, and adaptability for warm water diving and dive travel.
Similar to the baseline ST system, the ST Elite Travel System brings together core single tank components into one complete package. The key difference is the addition of the Elite 2 harness, which offers a more padded and adjustable feel that will be familiar to divers transitioning from a traditional recreational BCD. Combined with the backplate design, this creates a system that feels supportive and comfortable while delivering improved stability in the water.
Designed for warm water and travel destinations, the ST Elite Travel System includes the ultra-streamlined ST22 wing, Aluminum Backplate 2.0, Delrin cam bands, and Backplate Backpad 2.0. It is a lightweight and versatile platform that also allows room for customization as your diving style evolves over time.

Who It’s For
The Hollis ST Elite Travel System is ideal for recreational divers who want to move into a backplate system without giving up the familiar comfort of a traditional BCD-style harness. It is especially suited to warm water divers, traveling divers, and those looking for a lightweight single tank setup with room to customize over time.
What Sets It Apart
What sets the ST Elite Travel System apart is its combination of travel-friendly weight, backplate stability, and the comfort of the Elite 2 harness.
