I've just bought a ScubaPro Bella BCD in a size SM (tagged as this inside) yet on any sizing chart/any online search etc I can find no details of what size SM is supposed to fit. The dive centre where I bought it said it was equivalent to a small and the other option was an XS-S, but even on the label detailing lift capacity inside the BC is says this one should come in XS / S / M / M-L/ L/ XL. The catalogue also says the same as does online charts.
Every other BC I've worn (rentals) have been a small and fitted fine. As the sizing chart says this should come in a small, that's what I was hoping to get. Have tried in on with my suit and fits okay (though I can't say I've tried any others on dry without the tank so not sure what it's supposed to feel like). Just a bit concerned I may not have the right size and don't want to go diving with it only to find it may not be right. Trying it on dry I can do the waist band up so the velcro comes off the other end of the velcro it meets so it's fine at the moment but any give and I may not be able to do it up tight enough. Where it fits around my back it almost feels like there's too much material coming around my back under my arms but as I said, not having tried others on dry before (and the ones I have used have been very well worn so aren't stiff at all) it could just be because it needs the tank weight to pull it down. Any help appreciated!
