Hi,
Can anyone comment on these BCDs? Comfort, performance, features? I plan to use mostly for travel and in warm water.
My concern about the hydros-X is the lack of a cumberbund and potential comfort from this omission. Does the BCD move on you because of the lack of cumberbund? On the plus sides, I really like the features and the ability to remove the weight quick release as I don't travel with weights. The chest harness looks really comfortable.
The glide looks like more of a traditional front adjust jacket style BCD. Looks like it should be comfortable and adjust to fit well. Probably similar to the rentals I've been using. Still has some features like grommets for a knife. The chest harness and straps are less adjustable than on the hydros-X.
So, hydros-X vs glide. Unfortunately not possible to evaluate in person because of where I live.
Thanks so much!
