Best BCD for xxxxL sized diver?

[Nova SS]

Most BCDs have a large range of adjustments to them. I have a 48" chest / 36 waist and thought I would have a problem finding on to fit well but it turns out a Oceanic Excursion LARGE ( not xl ) fit me perfect, even with adjustment room to spare. They are going to have a harder time with a wet suit than with a BCD.

The Oceanic Probe LX tends to run large compared to other similar jacket-style BCs - and comes in a XXL.

I vote for the BP/wing. I'm 6'1" and range between 290 and 310. My chest is somewhere around 56". I never got to try many jacket style BC's, but the ones I did try didn't fit very well. The DSS back plate and wing fit me so well, I know I'll never go back to jacket style.

For whats its worth - I have been facing the same type issue and the Scubapro Glide Plus 2XL or Seaquest ProQD 2XL have both fit me fine in recent buying trips. I am leaning toward the Scubapro Glide Plus.

Mulegirl, I'm 5'10 and currently 265# For the past 3 years been using a Seaquest Pro QD 2 XL, fit me fine, even up to 285# as in my profile pic. However I just ordered a Zeagle Brigade w 2XL cumberbund and large shoulders from Scubatoys. The Seaquest is rather bulky for packing, but otherwise an excellent bc. If interested, my wife just posted it at work for $150.00. I'm stating this here, cause not real shure how this pm feature on the board works. Barely 'puter literate. John
