I had a Mares Origin Sport and end up having a lot if trouble with (heavy leak after short time use, get replaced and same problem occured, finally ended up by giving in replacement for the 2nd time a Rover :-/, still better than a kick in the teeth, but not exactly what I paid for...)
I now dive with a SeacSub Pro Line 2000, and I'm not really happy with it. It has a really hard part on the bottom of the back, and it can be really painfull when I need to walk a bit with my tank on my back. The direct system is way too long and heavy (buttons in metal) and leak really easily.
I'm looking for a replacement.
What I'm looking for, is a "semi wing" BCD, with a big buoyancy in a XS size (I usually end up taking the S, as the XS don't often have a big buoyancy, but will be really happy to have something in my size, that I don't need to tighten hardcore to make it fit), trim pockets and integrated weights, dump valve at least on the right shoulder, pockets on both side, a few rings, strong material and not too heavy in the travel bag....
I don't want a wing (backplate), and I don't care about the women fancy stuff
I red about the Cressi back jac 2012, it seems to be quite what I'm looking for. But I also red reviews regarding problems with integrated weight pockets being "too soft" and falling...
Does anyone have some advice about what BCD I could use?
Thank you!
