this post is a little late but :
before i got the tech bug my lds sold me one
- imho with the pro QD -
1) the pockets are difficult to find and open, esp with gloves on, and they don't hold much. they get flatter as you inflate the bc
2) jacket bcd's restrict movement
3) to much crap on your chest
4) tank band slips
- as i learn more it is clear (to me) that a back inflation system once setup is far superior in all these areas
but, it is not an out- of- the -box and into- the- water deal, which may appeal to you
but the setup is part of the fun
my pockets now?
thigh pockets- they're big, easy to get to, eays to open, and installation is cake
