Comments about Genesis Genesis Omni BCD Black:

Overall a great value for those just getting started or for the value conscious. The integrated weight system is easy to use, there are metal D-rings unlike some lower cost BCDs' that use plastic rings and are subject to breakage. Appears to be well built. I just wish the zippers were metal. They're plastic and will break if abused even slightly, ask me how I know.....

Comments about Genesis Genesis Omni BCD Black:

Pretty easy to adjust and get in and out of ,with plenty of front room.

On the surface, it takes a bit of practice to avoid staying face forward.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Omni BCD Black:

This BCD works well, comfortable, streamlined and compact. The CQR2 weight system works great and has plenty of capacity for weights (I use 18 to 24 lbs depending on conditions and it accomodates them well). The boyancy capacity on the XL size is more than enough for me at 230lbs with Steel single tank.
The only possible down side is that the bladder seems to narrow in the middle so that it is slow to trim when shifting from swimming on one side to the other.
This is a great BC for the price.
