What is a good travel BCD? Preferably wt integrated and jacket style. Need 15 to 20 lbs of lift.
Any thoughts???

I haven't had any trouble taking my Scubpro Ladyhawk. It's not a travel BC, but it travels well. Back inflator, integrated weights.
 
Although you have to view the magazine with a critical eye for content and commercial motives, here is a review of some newer BCs....

A short list:
Zeagle Stilletto (as already mentioned)
Oceanic Islander
Scubapro Knighthawk

I opted for the Oceanic Excursion which is slightly heavier than the Islander but had the features that best fit my needs. A couple of pounds heavier but still pretty manageble.

Happy shopping!

Edit: Oops! I re-read your question and you were looking for Jacket not Back Inflate. Sorry.

Zeagle Stiletto, can't go wrong !!

My guess is that most BC's weigh in at around 7-8 pounds (BP/W 1-2 pounds?) so It really comes down to what works for you. Stiletto packs small and is very adjustable. Wears both ways well too.
