Here is my story. I posted here once that I got a too big Islander BC. Finally, the guy that I bought BC with allowed me to change the BC from M to S size. But the problem is ...

The S size of Islander BC that I got is different from the M size one that I just returned. Main different is the Interior Plush Lining . The S size that I have right now has no Interior Plush Lining. Instead of plush lining, they put it with Nylon on my S size. That is so pity, I really love plush lining.

I am so confused with this product. Why oceanic uses the different material on the same BC model. Or the new S size of Islander that I just got has a lower price with no . That is why the guy allowed me to change my BC.

Or may be I could not say anything becasue I myself choosed the wrong size of BC. And to get an opportunity to return is already good enough eventhough it is not a perfect quality of Islander BC.

Hope you understand my English ....:blinking:

Hi Tina. I am an Oceanic dealer and don't have any knowledge of the change you refer to. I have placed a phone call to Oceanic customer service and they have promised to research this issue and get back to me. As soon as I hear, I will post here. Thanks.

Thanks. I think this is a good case study. Because if you buy the product from the internet, you will never know what is the difference. The exterior of the product is just exactly the same from the picture but the material is different when you get to see the real one.
 
Tina555,

This sounds a little unusual. I have a IslanderBC in Small in my samples and their is no difference in material from size to size. Even if the product was purchased from a Oceanic interenet retailer, it should be a uniform product like the rest. If you have purchased from a LDS or a certified Oceanic retailer and are unhappy with that product, we have a 30 day satisfaction gaurantee warranty. This is a no questions asked policy on that covers every product in our line without exception in the domestic US. Please feel free to PM me if I can help in any way.

Regards,
Darryl Bowerman
Oceanic/AERIS Regional Manager
