What is a good brand/model of women's BCD? Nothing too fancy, just good quality and features. Prefer a jacket style with intergral wieghts.

I have an Oceanic Hera BCD and I really like the way it fits. I do a mix of quarry diving and tropical diving.
Understanding what kind of diving, as well as why the preference for "jacket style" would be useful.
Do you know difference between Jacket Style and Back Inflate BCDs? I find a great many folks says "Jacket Style" when they simply mean "traditional BCD" and not meaning to distinguish WITHIN that group, but merely ruling out BP/W rigs.
I also have an Oceanic Hera. Good & very comfy BC. The only downside is, is a bit bulky (that nice comfy padding) & is a bit on the heavy side for a BC, so doesn't make for the best of travel BC's.

That question is kinda like musing," I'm looking for a good womans car ".
Too many variables.
Gotta be more specific.

Jacket style, some springs and quarry diving.

Also think about BP/W my girlfriend tried on about 15 different BC's before trying out the Halcyon Eclipse. And only reason she even tried it on was because the girl who worked there said she dives it and it is very comfortable. She pretty much tossed it a side while we were at our DS doing training cause it didn't look comfortable but once it was on she was sold. and could't be happier

Budget model...there's a generic out there...it's exactly the same BCD but marketed under several different company logos.
Aqua Lung Wave is one name for it.
Aeris Caribe is another name for it.
There are several other companies selling the exact same BCD..... and it's budget priced.
Not a bad BCD either if you're looking for a decent starter model.
Just do a search....it'll turn up.
