It doesn't look very streamlined. It would be difficult in current.

I would think it is being "closed out" for a reason. I would be reluctant.
Keep looking.

Too black. Need to splash on a little pink, neon green, and yellow. We wouldn't let you be a dork diver with this BC. Unless the rest of your gears glow.

Last time I saw one of those, the oral inflator was about the size of a straw. We had one in the shop for quite a while and never again.

I don't like jacket-style BCs because when they are fully-inflated, they queeze too much!

IMHO, back-inflated BCs are more comfortable.

Don't base your decision on price! If you can't afford the BC you want, don't purchase one yet!

So you are associated with a shop somehow? Could you suggest a good bc for me?
I don't know what characteristics to look for. If it matters, I am a 6' male and weigh 210 lbs.

It's an wacky design. Bizzare to use. Mares does make other really good BCD's.

Not to sound like a broken record...consider a BackPlate and Wing.

If you must use a BCD consider a Zeagle Ranger(Cold Water) or Scout (Warm Water).

If you want a jacket BC, Oceanic Probe LX, Size L-XL
If you want a back inflate BC, Oceanic Excursion

If you want a BP/W, DSS SS plate w/ HOG & Horseshoe Wing
