The Islander 2 is very comfortable and my wife who is a dive master has always commented on how much better my trim is than hers using her old Mares jacket style. My only complaint, (not really a complaint, but a comment) is the way it rides up when sitting on the surface.

As far as trim goes, it could be the BC or not. I have seen good and bad trim in all kinds of rigs.

You can always DIY a crotch strap on to the BC if you want one, I could never figure out why the crotch strap was discontinued from jacket BC's. I moved to a BP/W, so it isn't an issue when I want to use one.

Just because others have a different opinion doesn't make them "wanabes" or "faffers." You're certainly welcome to your opinion, but you don't have to be an :censored:hat about it. Unless, of course, you can't help it. :D

It's a forum. If the cap fits - wear it.
