The new C-Trim System weight pockets are created in the back of the main pocket, thus providing an excellent hydrodynamic profile. The weight is added to special, large size removable pockets. These are now situated on the front and are slanted so as to guarantee perfect buoyancy and to assist in removing weight. Attachment of the special pockets is ensured by a large Velcro zone, assisted by a snap fastener made from YKK techno-polymer.
The backpack is completely new, anatomic, light and very robust. The rear part incorporates an elastomer non-slip element, to make sure the tank stays put, and this is assisted by a second adjustable strap to attach around the neck of the tank or the valve. The upper side has a strong handle to carry the whole unit.
Like the J111R the S111R is a unique product that combines the performance features of back inflation with the comfort of a torso adjustable BCD. A fully weight integrated BCD, the J111R incorporates a self-expanding gusseted bladder that offers increased buoyancy around the tank, allowing for proper buoyancy control while swimming. Cressi-sub's unique C-Trim Weight System is utilized allowing for proper weight distribution along with easy weight ejection. Easy to operate two inch strapping and buckles are featured along with a six inch wide depth compensating cummerbund.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub S111 R C-Trim System Buoyancy Compensator:
I'm on my second S-111 BCD, because my previous one started being a bit too loose on me after I dropped about 30 lbs, and I had to drop from Large to Medium. This is a great BCD, well built and provides lots of lift. It has lots of D rings to attach all your stuff, and two large pockets where I keep my slate and a backup light. On the back, there are 4 trim weight pockets allowing for great balancing of the weights. I usually put about half my weight in them, and the other half into the releasable integrated weight pockets in the front. This BCD is a little bulkier than some that I have seen, including my buddy's SeqQuest, but I definitely think that it's sturdier than his, so that's a worthwhile trade off in my opinion. Over all, I'd highly recommed it.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub S111 R C-Trim System Buoyancy Compensator:
I bought this BC because it had everything I was looking for in a jacket-style and not too many things I didnt need, and was well priced. Its a quality product that is very comfortable to wear and looks good too. I feel very balanced and controlled in the water.
I also really liked the integrated weight system- its very easy to load your weights and even easier to rip them out and pass them up to the boat. However, there are two little problems with this system:
1. the studs that act as extra security for the velcro were made from flimsy plastic (surprising because otherwise its very well made)and in a very short time one had broken after being placed in a tub with a bunch of other weights. I had both studs replaced with sturdier ones.
2. If you do a giant stride or backward roll entry, there is the possibility that you can pop the studs, or even partially unfasten the velcro. Because the weights are placed in from the top and gravity keeps them there, this is not usually a problem. Unless you need to swim head first for the bottom. After entering the water, I always check to make sure the weights are firmly secured. But as far as integrated weight systems go, I like this one for its simplicity and ease of loading/removing the weights.
This bc is fairly bulky. Not recommended for frequent travellers and overkill for tropical diving.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub S111 R C-Trim System Buoyancy Compensator:
This is the best Scuba product I've ever bought. Really. Obviously Cressi obsessed over this one. Great design...and way overbuilt.....I'd wear it to bed at night its so comfortable....but...my better half......Anyway, it has a great amount of lift and gives me a nice cozy safe feeling when wearing...Having just returned from AKR Roatan...It got a great workout..Like it even more now......Get this one if sitting on the fence. Its a very nice BC
