I really like the design and features of the new 2007 Atmos LX BCD, but I'm little concerned about the weight. Does it really weigh 9.1 pounds?
Thanks,

Makai,
Just went and checked out my sample LX BCD and I am going to say that it definetly feels like 9 lbs. This is a couple of pounds lighter than it's predecessor the Atmos XT.

Thanks for the prompt response, Darryl. I guess it wouldn't be the best choice for a travel BCD.

Hi Makai,
If a travel BC is what you are looking for and weight is more of an issue, check out the AERIS Reef Rider. Only 6 lbs, extemely low profile, weight integration accommodates up to 14lbs. There also several other brands that make excellent travel BC's at about the same weight.
I do like the ATMOS LX a lot even with the extra few pounds. It has a unique hybrid rear inflation bladder that offers wrap around lobes on each side of your hip area. Allows for upright position on surface. Good luck and good diving.
