"Bella" or any BCD fit question

[Buckeyeboys]

Greetings, Fitment for a jacket style Scubapro "Bella" BCD when the wearer is short and plump. Can the cummerbund be changed out or modified to fit the midsection? Seems like going to a large size would go out of the height category.
Thanks

The cummerbund on the Bella is Velcro and can fit a fairly wide range; try one in the store if you can to get sizing correct. The cummerbund itself is not modifiable or replaceable.

Not sure if any jacket BCs are adjustable like that. I only have back inflates at home. I've got a Zeagle Stiletto, Laser, and Zena at home. The Stiletto and Laser both have cummerbunds that do have some adjustability besides the velcro and clip adjustments. Each side of the cummerbund has two mounting positions. So, if necessary could be moved to accommodate smaller or larger individuals. The cummerbund sides are secured by a couple book screws and are mounted in grommeted holes. There are 4 per side, IIRC.

So, I'd recommend heading to a dive shop and taking a look at how the cummerbund is attached. I'm not sure if any of the jacket style have that level of adjustment.

Update, I did find a cumberbund extender! We'll see if that will work. Thanks
