Buying a BC

[Toolbox-13]

Hello All,
I'm in the Process of buying a BC and I am leaning towards the Sherwood Avid. I'm a Big Man and not too many BC's come in 2XL any help I could get would be great. Thanks Toolbox-13

Have you looked at the SeaQuest Pro Q D?? It comes in a good size and is a great bc.

I've owned a Sherwood 2xl BC for a year now and have found it to be an excellent purchase. It is weight integrated which give me the option of using the weight integrated pouches, or using a weight belt. My waist size at purchase was 56" (currently 46"). The BC fit comfortably when I was huge, and still fits me comfortably now that I'm only large. I like the three purge valves, the ease of purging from the primary valve by simply pulling on the inflator, and the four stainless steel rings on the front of the BC. All in all I'm very happy with the Sherwood Avid BC. Good luck in your decision

Zeagles are quite adjustable. Have you looked at them?

Ultimately the one you should get is the one that fits you best and you feel comfortable under the water with regardless of what make or model it is.

You may want to focus on back-inflation B/Cs rather than jacket models.

A backplate and wings is infinitely adjustable to any body shape/size.

Might be worth looking into.
