We will be diving in France shortly and I was looking for the weight and size characteristics of the typical 12L Faber we'd be diving in France. I thought a simple look at the chart would be easy. Not so much. There's a ton of them on there and now I'm confused. A call to Blue Steel US and an email to faber were pointless. Anyone can tell me for certainty which from the spec sheet I'm attaching is the one I'll encounter?

What spec are you interest in specifically.
12L @232 bar is about the same as a LP95.

I got an email from faber today answering my question. You may be thinking of the 12l stubby or short. Those are kind of like a 95. The standard eu 12l is like an 85 with slight weight and length differences

Hmm. I think the Fabers we use here are the same. There are a couple of different versions of the 100CF 12.2L Fabers, with different buoyancy characteristics. There's an 8" shorty which is more negative at about -3lbs empty, and the standard 7" 12.2L which is around -1.5lbs empty.
