Dacor BCD's? any thoughts?

[Holy Mackerel]

I am considering buying my girlfriend the Dacor Xtremelle AirTrim Womens BCD. She dives a few times a year, mostly tropical. But we also do some more diving in San Diego, slightly colder water. I looked at their website, and it really isn't very good for info. http://www.divedacor.com/

Well considering that DACOR has been sold to MARES now, you will have to think about getting it serviced somewhere. Alot of the DACOR dealers, from what I have heard, will not be carrying the MARES line when it starts to replace the DACOR products. Another think, while the MARES regs seem to be very reliable equip. I have not found the same of the BC's personally. If MARES starts to manufacture the DACOR line of products, I think I would stay away. Also, I had an Extremelle for my wife and kid to use. Wasnt impressed at all. The weight pockets were not the easiest to load in the jacket and the big patch of velcro to hold them did not last that long. Was never a very comfortable fit in the water for either of them also.
