How we calculate scores →About this gear
Luxfer’s L6X scuba range uses an aluminium cylinder with a composite hoop wrap. The exact S106W row on its North American specification page lists 300 bar service pressure, 11.1 litres water volume and 15.3 kg dry weight.
Consider before buying
The published saltwater buoyancy changes from −2.2 kg full to +1.4 kg empty. This DOT-listed configuration has a 0.875-14UNF-2B neck thread; do not assume another valve thread fits or that a local filling station accepts it.
Our take
Consider S106W only after confirming the cylinder approval, valve, inspection arrangements and fill availability with your supplier. More stored gas does not itself establish a safe dive duration. No exact-model independent overall rating was verified.
