Comments about Aeris Aeris Sport BC with QLR Weight Pockets:
Overall a good BC. Seems well made and durable. Easy to put on and adjust. Wish the pockets were a little bigger because once the weight pockets are in with 16#, it's hard to put much else in, such as a small backup light. 35+ dives with it and have never had a problem with a weight pocket coming loose. I did take a file to the plastic holder for the inflator hose to make it easier to put the hose in and take it out.
One possible problem, at least in my case, is the BC seems to try to put me on my face at the surface when inflated fully. Could be a problem for a diver who is semi-conscious or worse. If the weight pockets kept the weights more to the rear, it probably would help. This is my first weight-integrated BC, so I can't compare it to others. My wife has a Genesis Athena and doesn't have this problem at the surface. Her weight releases are inside the pocket area and this may keep her weights more to the rear of the BC. The releases on this BC are on the outside of the pocket area and may allow the weights to move forward some, causing the facedown attitude. As I stated earlier, I have not had a problem with the weights falling out. Overall, I do like this BC.
Comments about Aeris Aeris Sport BC with QLR Weight Pockets:
the BCD itself is pretty nice however the quick release for the weights are supper sensitive. I went on a dive trip this weekend and everyone who had a sport lost a weight pouch at some point while diving.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Sport BC with QLR Weight Pockets:
This is a great BC for someone who is on the tiny side. I'm 5'7" and weigh approximately 115lbs and found it to be a great fit. The only downfall I noticed when a friend dove with the same BC, is that she needed more weights. unfortunately, the maximum soft weights she could stuff in the BC was a total of 16 lbs and she needed more. Trim pockets would have been great. I only needed 12 lbs to stay down with a 5 mil suit.
Great deal for the price!!!

Comments about Aeris Aeris Sport BC with QLR Weight Pockets:
This BCD is so much better than the one I used for my certification. I love the integrated weights, so much better than wearing those lousy weight belts.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Sport BC with QLR Weight Pockets:
It would be the best if it had extra trim pockets I need to add extra weight in storage pockets or use weight belt when using 3 mil farmer with 7 mil jacket. The integrated weight pockets dont like more than around 8 pounds. I am still happy enough that I will keep this for many years to come.
