Shopper Is this a back inflation or a jacket or a combo of both? Also is it made of a heavy material, I found the OMS featherlite to be somewhat thin material
EDWARD J The backplate and side pockets inflate for a snug fit also I have not has this item very long but the material seems very durable to me all your weight pockets are on the sides so I recommend you get a tank weight for rear balancing they are not too expensive but I really like this BC.
CORD L "The OMS Rapid Deployment System is a 3 sided inflation unit. Jacket style, with left, right and rear bladders. It is a very heavy nylon unit designed with the public safety divers needed in mind. This unit is much heavier built than my Sherwood Avid. It is my primary rescue unit, because I am not fond of rear wing units in river current diving. This unit allows me upright floatation when needed. Hope this helps. Cord Lundgren, PADI Rescue Diver.
