If you are looking for a travel BCD then you are going to love the Aeris EX-LiteTravel BCD. The EX-Lite weighs only 5 lbs/7 ounces (Size Large) so packing Lite is an option! This fantastically Lite-Weight BCD unlike many BCD designed for travel has twenty pound dump-able weight pockets. It also holds 10 pounds of non-dump-able weight. It's not another stripped down model either. It has a depth compensating waist webbing assembly to keep it in place and comfortable when on a dive.

The padded backpack with carry handle will make it easy to handle and comfortable for those multiple day dives, the low profile back inflation air cell will make any day of diving more fun while you easily fin the tropical reefs, or when back at home the high lift capacity will help meet even the more demanding dives. The (420) Nylon construction is light weight, yet durable to give you years of diving adventure. Lower rear dump valve with pull cord and Aeris proven Low Pressure Inflator Mechanism completes this value BCD.

Sizes: XSM, SM, MD, LG, XL.

Comments about Aeris Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD, Black:

Another reviewer calling me idiot!

I am an average Asian Male, 130lb and have chosen size M for this BC.

I am a Master Diver and have dived 100s times and used many different BCs. I know and appreciate if a BC is a good one. The Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD is not a better one that I have used before.

Ever wonder why back-inflated BCs like Mares Pegasus BCD has crotch strap? Ask youself why this one has not got one. The waist-strap is thin and very elastic especially if wet.

Comments about Aeris Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD, Black:

I bought this last week and just tested today for my rescue dive training.

The BC initially performed well but the soonest I tilted on one side, it was very uncomfortable due to the elastic waist strap. It become more elastic underwater due to wet condition and the BC always tried to release itself from my body due to the very elastic waist strap.

Also, due to the elastic waist strap, the BC floats away from my body/back since nothing fix holding it against my body.

I had to add a non-elastic strap to keep the BC close to my body/back and it worked.

My recommendation is for the manufacturer to add velcrow or fixed strap and if necessary issue this to all the buyers of this product for free.
