Shopper is this back-inflated, jacket-style wrap-around inflation or a hybrid (like the Oceanic Hera) where the air bladder is located/inflated in the back and in the jacket sides?
NAUM S They describe it as a hybrid. I am not sure what the subtle differences are between jacket style and hybrid BC. To me the hybrid appears to behave similar to jacket-style. My daughter was easily floating upright on the surface in Sirene BCD ( not being pushed face down that ususally happens with back inflation). We did use small weights in the back pockets (20-30% of the total weight).
Hope this helps
RICHARD W I purchased the Genesis Sirene Womans BCD for my wife, she is relatively
new to diving but has tried several brands of BCDs, she loves her Genesis Sirene, it is comfortable, light and allows her to feel very comfortable in the water. She would highly recommend the Genesis Sirene

ELISSA W This bc inflates in the back, the front areas only have pockets and weights. (there are also weight pockets in the back too) When I purchased this it was on sale, so the lower price and fact that it matched my wet suits sold me, but it's been a great purchase. I've used this on lots of dive trips and it fits and works great.
