Comments about Cressi Cressi Sub Travelight BCD:
I initially bought a large; however, all adjustments were near the end of range when tightened. This was without a wetsuit. I am 5'11, 189 with 42" chest. I exchanged for medium which was much better fit. I dove with the BC for first time last week. I found it difficult to don when attached to a tank sitting on a boat. The soft backpack folds over considerably which makes it difficult to get arms through the shoulder straps even when doing it one at a time. Although fully extended, the shoulder straps seem short. Maybe, I should have kept the large. I had the most success by disconnecting one shoulder strap and holding it over that soulder while passing arm through the opposite still connected strap, then reconnecting the first strap.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Sub Travelight BCD:
Very small when you fold it. Comes with a bag for the bcd. Extra strap built in bcd for folding it down and keeping it that way. Large pockets for extra equipment. Could fit my Sealife Dc1000 + Pelican 2410 LED light in one pocket with room to spare. D-rings made of light weight aluminium and plenty of them. Only negative thing I can say is that the trim pockets could be a little bit smaller. Maybe not so negative.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Sub Travelight BCD:
If you're flying to warm water locations, this is the BC for you. Yes it is pricey and yes it is worth it.
Things I love:
1) Packs into an impossibly small size weighing only a little over 5 lbs!
2) The integrated weight system is secure and very easy to use.
3) Very large and easily accessible pockets with plenty of room for everything I may want to bring along.
4) Plenty of D rings in all the right places for recreational diving.
5) Trim pockets I never thought I needed but now love.
6) The secondary strap wouldn't hold the tank on if the primary failed but it adds a surprising stability when walking around on the boat.
7) Fabric is very light weight but very durable. BC shows little wear after 30 dives.
Only two very small critiques:
1) Has a little more inherent bouyancy than I would have expected. Had to compensate by adding two more lbs for shallow dives than I wore with my old BC.
2) The fabric holding the D right below the left pocket was received frayed. We had an upcoming dive trip or I'd have let my boyfriend (who bought this for me as a gift) return it immediately. He contacted LeisurePro and was immediately sent approval for the return, however, with frequent dives, I've refused to part with it long enough for the exchange/repair even though I have a back up BC.
Summary: This BC was purchased as a travel BC but it is a great functioning recreational BC PERIOD. I highly recommend it.
