Hi,
I have had an Icon bcd for a bit less than 3 years, 350 dives.
I take VERY good care of my equipment. I dive 80% freshwater, 20% salt.
My bcd is leaking air so bad all along the top now(and was ok a month ago!)that my dive shop tech says he won't touch it and considers it dangerous.
Also, since the beginning, i have had to add clips to my weight pockets as they would fall off for nothing.(i never wear more than 14 pounds in them both together-7 each)
AND; the direct system would not function when pulled to dump air fast.(i stopped trying to very early!).
I am not writing this just to complain, altought i AM quite disapointed!
I want to know: is +or-300 dives considered normal for the Icon lifespan?
Thank you for considering this. I know i am not alone to have experienced those problems. One of my buddies is starting to, with the same vest.
I was happy with it the time it lasted, and appreciated its qualities.
But i won't buy another.
