GlockDiver once bubbled...
I know I'm reviving an old thread, however I am curious if anyone has any experience with this same BCD, as I'm considering purchasing one.
I was under the impression that Aeris made decent products until I came across this BC. What's wrong with it?
1. Very uncomfortable even for a jacket style
2. Inflator valve has a very poor flow
3. It could use another remote dump valve, I could not dump trapped air regardless of whatever position you're in.
4. Cheap feeling!
5. Optional integrated weight is a joke, badly positioned and adds to discomfort. I don't know how easy it is to release them. I didn't want to try anyway!
6. It could use another couple of D rings, the existing rings are poorly positioned.
7. The fit is strange, you can't really adjust the jacket to get a secure feeling.
Aeris should discontinue this line immediately. The BC is an embaressment. I guess it works good as a rental, makes the customer seriously consider buying something else. I don't recall trying anything nearly as bad. It is a shame because the other stuff they make are great products. Spend a couple of more bucks and get decent BC.
