    Does the pink of the Scubapro Bella BCD fade quick/easily?

    Hi there,

    I'm about to get myself a BCD and I have my heart set on the Scubapro Bella - can anyone tell me if the pink version fades quick or at all?
    Is it better to just go for black/blue.

    Will really appreciate your input xxx

    What's better than a faded BC? It makes you look like a seasoned pro! I, unfortunately, can't tame my instinctual urge to buy cool toys long enough to fade a BC.

    Everything I post is an opinion; I do not pretend to have any facts to offer. Much of what is posted here is in jest, and is not intended to be taken seriously. The sarcasm is often so subtle it's hard to detect.

    Don't know about the Bella, but my wife had a Classic from the early 90's. The fabric has delaminated to uselessness but the pink trims are still very presentable. That's 20 years of reasonable care, but no paranoia.
