Is ths a bc designed for a women?? What size would a woman who is 5'6" and weighs 170# order? Thank you.
Yes and size medium
I've got a 48 inch chest, would the large fit me? 38-40 waist.
Is there a Velcro belt in addition to the clip buckle or just the big buckle? Pull dump valve on low back? With weight integration, can the pockets really hold anything, e.g. DAN signal tube rolled up? What's the lift of this BC?
A large should fit you.
Here is a size chart to help you compare your height and weight.
This BCD has a Velcro cummerbund as well as the clip in the front. The weight integration pockets, when carrying weight, can't hold much else in addition, but you should be able to roll up the signal tube tight and fit it into the outer pockets. This BCD also has a lower rear pull dump valve for releasing air. The lift of the BCD ranges from 18 pounds for an XS to 37 pounds for a large.
What is the lift on a size small, and what is the size range on a small as well?
A small has 18 pounds of lift.
Here is a size chart to help you compare your height and weight.
Please explain about the weight system. What size for a woman 5'7" and 150 lbs. with a 32" waist?
The weights are integrated into the BC. All that means is that lead weights are placed in two zippered pockets which then fit into the inside of the BCD. It eliminates the need for a weight belt which can often be heavy and uncomfortable on the hips/back. The weights are quickly and easily ditchable via two oversized release clips. For you I would recommend a medium.
Is there some back plate beneath the softer material in the back?
There is no hard backplate material in the backpack (like metal or hard plastic) but there is some soft support in the backpack area.
My wife is 5'6", 128 lbs. Small or medium?
I would recommend a small.
How many dump valves are on this product?
There are two pull dump valves in addition to the deflate button valve on the corrugated hose.
