This BCD helps me to have perfect form and easy neutral bouyancy. I will never go back to the jacket style BCDs. I am a size 6 (Canada) and I wear a men's small. It fits perfectly.
What is not to like??

This BC is amazing. If you don't like it, you are probably one of those peole who is never happy. It is made super durable with incredable lift. Trim pockets are a must, and there are lots of metal D rings,not cheap plastic that breaks, if you like wrecks like I do for a plethora of gear. Five stars all the way, nicely executed Cressi!!Hope this helps;)

Does this come with holes for attaching a knife?
RANDOLPH H
No..... Cuba Pete
KEVIN F
No knife mount (holes) on this BC.
GEORGE B
No it does not.
Mike O
No it does not have grommet holes for knife attachment.
Kevin M
There's many o-rings to attach a variety of accessories. I like that they're made of aluminum instead of plastic as well.
LOUIS B
Plenty of clips all around not sure I would call them holes
Shopper
Is there an 'air source' (octopus) replacement for the inflator available for this BCD?
YAN G
No, there is not. Cressi uses a non standard corrugated hose and they are not compatible with any brand, due to the connection not being secure.

Does this has a rigid black plate or a soft one?
MARTIN L
It is rigid.
Mike T
Hi There,
This BC does have a rigid back plate.
JAMES B
Rigid plate but with a very thick mesh comfy feeling cushion between the plate and your back.
RANDOLPH H
Nice padded rigid. Quality back inflate BC. RNH
JCD T
rigid, padded with handle integrated into plate which makes switching tanks easy. Really like this bcd. 60+ dives on it and looks brand new
NICOLAS B
There is rigidity in the rear of the pack to ensure it maintains its former with weight strapped on. But there is padding in between for user comfort. This BCD is a tank, but with the luxury of a Caddy's interior. Definitely my favorite to date!

Rigid. Nice back plate. Never had any slippage.
GEORGE B
It has a rigid back plate.
Mike O
It has a rigid back plate. I really like this BCD. It is very versatile.

I'm 5'8" 245 lbs, 50" chest, 40" waist I'm assuming an XL would do the trick ?
JEF G
Yes definitely. I bought this for my son and he has a 43 inch waist and it fits him well.
KATHY T
I'll add on after seeing other posts. I bought for my boyfriend and he is 5'8"", 180lbs with 40" chest. Got him the large and it fits well.
KATHY T
XL or XXL, you may want to check size guidance on Cressi site.
JCD T
I missed word or two. Almost full of air is what i meant say. Love this bcd fwiw
JCD T
Im 5'11" 225 and i have plenty of room in a large. Id be surprised if the large didnt work for you. Just went upsrairs and put in almost full of with lots of room. Heading for Bonaire/Curacao next Fri so i was packing anyway!!!! :-)
EDWARD W
I believe it would. I'm taller and weight less and I used a Large, which fit well.
MICHAEL M
I can only tell you what size worked for me. I'm 6' 2" and 185lbs with 34" waist and 40" chest. I went with the medium and glad I didn't go with the large. It fits great and I have enough straps to loosen over a thick wetsuit.
William N
I am 5'6" 145 lbs with a 40'' chest and 29'' waist. What size would you recommend?
Kenneth F
Medium for sure!
William N
You wouldn't think the medium would be too big in the waist?
GEORGE B
I would think a medium would fit you well, I am 6', weigh 185 and have a 42" chest and a large fits me well
GEORGE B
sorry about the above post, my cressi is a medium, not a large, my apologies.
DAVID S
Medium
KATHY T
I would recommend a medium based on your size. Happy diving!
