Great Bc with super durable construction! Can only fault it in one place. The sizing, I purchased a L and for the most part iit fits great, the only let down is the extremely large velcro waist band... It is far to large and even with an 8mm wetsuit it had a lot of room. That said, with some adjusting and re-threading at the rear, it can be fixed to fit, just a litlre patience required!!

I liked this BCD so much that I got one for my son as well. Using the integrated weight system takes practice. There are easy grip handles and plenty of leverage for dumping the weights in an emergency. However, putting the cartridges back into place, ounce they have been removed, does require some finesse. A perfect BCD would have a foolproof mounting bracket to help you push the cartridges into place. Once you do hear the cartridge click into the Oceanic HLC, the weights are very secure.

Although it is much lighter than it looks, this is a very durable BCD that drains really well while leaving the water. The cumberbun is a little oversized for the rest of the unit. Everything else adjusts with great ease. My XL fits a little loose on me while my son's Large is still a little snug on me. My XL should fit perfectly in the spring. My son has no complaints about the fit. The air dumps are located conveniently on the right shoulder and right hip. We love the big pockets, although they might be a little easier to unzip if the openings were a little lower. My son's only source of frustration is in mounting his Wenoka knife onto this BCD. His favorite piece of gear is his dive knife. An Oceanic Spinner attaches to the convenient flaps on either side, above the pockets. I'm not crazy about the Oceanic knife's sheath, but that is another review. A few extra grommets on those flaps or a more standard spacing would help though.
