Women BC

[tc_rain]

What BC's are out there that women like and what about them do you like? My wife is looking and she doesn't like the huge sides on most of them. I figure a back inflate, something like the Aeris Reef Rider? She won't go for a BP/W, it looks too techie. Any ideas?

check out the Scubapro Lady hawk. i have been using mine for 6 yrs and love it. the sides sit low enough not to rub and it is very adjustable.

I use Oceanic's Hera BC. It has lots of padding in all the right areas. It is also a hybrid back inflate/ jacket style BC with lots of lift capacity.A very comfortable & versatile BC. Also very adjustable shoulders besides the D-ring adjustment, the shoulders can be adjusted in length in the back, so a near custom fit can be made.

If your wife wants nothing on her sides, she should definitely look at the Zeagle Zena. Basically it's a weight integrated corset with a wing attached, and very minimal in design. Plus (like all Zeagles) its modular in design so pieces can be mixed and matched for a custom fit if needed.

We have alot of women coming in and trying out different BCD's. Generally the Zeagle Zena gets chosen 3:1 over all the others. A few have even come back and purchased a Zena after purchasing one of the other brands.
Hope this helps,

I really like my Seaquest Libra. It's back inflate, weight integrated and it has no velcro waste strap, it's just a buckle. Love it, very simple and won't squeeze you.
