I bought it in January 2020 and have done around 180 dives using it (wreck, extended limits dives included). Still looks almost brand new. I prefer to dive not using weight belt and find the trim pockets very useful. You wil not use all D rings available, but definetely will be able to choose where exactly you want them
I have that jacket and it feels very comfortable on my dives my console is perfect on the body because of the pocket hole. Design is cool in dark water you can spot me better. The big pockets are very useful for a lamp or GoPro or something :)
I dive with a BC of beuchat over 15 years with the same BC of the previous model called master lift evolution It's one of the best BC I've had. After 15 years of intense diving, I purchased the new master lift x Air BC. I will soon get with it and thus I will retire the old BC after hundreds of dives.
Had I seen this 4 weeks ago I might have gone for it. But after watching tons of videos showing the benefits of going with a BP&W, I can't help looking at this and seeing issue after issue with it. That clip is not a quick release like a bolt snap. Once it's attached to something you're not going to unclip it quickly. The routing of the gauge looks like a snag hazard to me. Plus it's got all the detriments of a standard BCD, and none of the benefits of a BP&W.
What clip? If u store the octo and spg as intended it looks like it should be pretty ok. Just standard bcd problem with it, too bussy in the front, no dump on the left side and lacking crouch strap no problems that i couldnt live with on most dive.
