Scubapro X Black BCD

Donning and Doffing

Thick shoulder straps make it feel like it can hold all the weight of a tank in just one strap. Great for when you have to swing that gear up onto your shoulder!

Functionality

Too big and bulky for travel. Knife pocket looks scrunched, forced into the design of the BCD. Love how large the pockets are.

Style

Fantastic… bigger, bulkier, better. Love the red accents throughout the BCD.

Material

No holes in any part of the BCD including the actual bladder. Oral inflate mouthpiece susceptible to mold.

Adjusting for Fit

Shoulder straps and back plate are very comfortable. Waist straps can be acutely adjusted at the back of the BCD which makes for perfect fitment

Expectations

Everything seems to be living up to ScubaPro standards…. except the mold growth on the oral inflate and and the paint chipping off the metal d-rings. Also a slight bit of rust on the tank strap metal clasp.

Value for Money

I am confident it will last many years to come. I cannot for see any major problems with it. Super happy with the purchase!
