Yeah, it seems pretty simple to figure out. You just have to check and align when you put it in, no big deal. I could see if you were in a rush you might have a problem. It takes a minute to make sure it is in the track.
 
Honnestly, I love it! The airtrim is great. The BCD adjusts well. The rear weight pockets let you get great balance... I love it! :D Buyancy is much easier to maintain with this BCD. I figure that's probably due to my past experiences being with middle to low range equipment. The morphos is high quality BCD that is very adjustable...

I originally wanted the Dragon... But the deal on the Morphos was too good to be true...:D

Later!
 
Does the upper strap (chest strap) seem to ride up on you? Seems like it goes up to my neck almost unless I have the thing pulled down. Just worried when I throw a tank on it might strangle me. I got a Large and my existing bc was a large and now am questioning if I should have got a xl.
 
I have the Mares Kaila with the MRS Plus integrated weight system and have never had an issue - with almost 30 dives on it so far.
 
Hi again,

I sent e-mail to the shop where i bought (ts-heinemann.com) and they replied, that it is known "bug" and they will replace weight pockets for free. Service was absolutely perfect: ordered replacement monday, pockets came on tuesday lunchtime! Just on time before long Easter weekend diving ;-) Even they ordered UPS pickup to collect my broken ones. So to replace them cost me nothing.
Over weekend I did 6 dives in Schull (Co. Cork) with these pockets. Had 5Kg in each. Was carying into the boat - from the boat packets holding only handles (stress test :-) ) and they are still OK. So at the moment I'm happy camper, but every time i stuck pockets into BCD, I hear that question in my head: "will it break this time" ... I hope over time I will get confidence in them again...
