Questions about this item:

Shopper how many tank straps on the back?

LAURIE S Two and then the strap that goes under the tank valve

ALAN O one tank strap

ELLIOT R There are two straps. One heavy duty one that holds the tank in place and one light-weight strap that doesn't do much.

DAVID S There is just one strap, but it works well.

MATTHEW R 1. But never had a tank slip and am a dive master and have used over 150 dives,

CHRIS P One strap

MICHAEL T one strap

Shopper wounld this fit a women!!???

ELLIOT R Not sure about a woman; But it does fit a Big man.

MICHAEL T I don't think it would be comfortable for a women unless you were small breasted.

RALPH H Yes it would, I dive with one and a friend of mines wife wanted to try it in a pool she loved it. I think she is hooked on diving now. I did suggest a womens BCD though.

I have used this BC on Night Dives and items are easy to find and remove from clips and rings. I've traveled with it and it packs nice. I've drift dived, shipwrecked dived, Cenote dived, Cavern dived and the BC performed top notch. The zippers are large and durable. The integrated weights are easy to use. The rear lift is not too overbearing. I know a lot of divers do not use Sherwood BC's, but they should. I would buy one again.

So this jacket is very comfortable, fits like a glove. However I feel that this jacket has its issues with its inflater and dump valves.
I just came back from 25 dives in Bonaire with this BCD, the good its very comfortable, the bad, there isn't a handle to pick up the jacket with the tank installed, the ugly, it feels up with water which I have to dump out after every dive, sounds like a percolator when filling it with air underwater. It seems that the dump valve does not seal properly and fills the jacket with water during the dive, this could be just my jacket, but it could be all of them. For the price I could have bought something better.
