Hey guys,
I've just began diving within the last 6 months or so and have been keeping an eye out for affordable equipment. I found a brand new (but older model) large scubapro ladyhawk woman's bcd with the air 2 integration hose for only $120.
I like that it's back inflate (I got to use this style on a dive trip and preferred it over the jacket styles I've used) and has integrated weights. The only "down" side is I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the air 2 inflator. I think I'd prefer to have a traditional octo. Although, I may be able to find someone willing to swap me out for a standard scubapro inflator.
Anyways, my question is what classifies it as a woman's bcd? Do they have a different dimension? It seemed to fit well, but I only tried it on for about 5 second, because they were getting ready to close. Are there any potential issues I should look out for, or is the "womans" and "mens" labels just a marketing tactic? Are there any men on here who have used the bcd?
$120 seems like a steal for a new bcd if it fits right.
Thanks!
