Hi, my relative gave me the "large" size ProbeLX by Oceanic and now the BC doesn't fit me anymore because I have slim down and completely lost more then 60lb of my body. Should I get a smaller size BC like a medium or get a cummerbund replacement?
 
Well it depends how big the BC is now.

The cummerbund is adjustable (and by a couple of inches+) at the back behind the back padding.

The question is, even with a properly fitting cummerbund, can you pull the bc tight? I mean do you still have some give in the shoulder straps? I tried a large OceanPro and even with the shoulder straps pulled right down it was too big.
 
If you replace it , just get a BP/w , there is no sizing , so no matter what you will never have to replace it again cause of size.
 
It depends on height as much as anything. So how does it fit vertically. If it hoplessly burries you weight belt then it may be long anyways.

Most cummebunds are adjustable in case you did not notice. There is usualy some sort of velcro or pin connection at each end that lets you take it in or let it out quite a bit.

Looks like I got it solved, I just got the small cummerbund size and now that thing DOES fit well. :D
