Hi,
I posted earlier that my wife and I recently purchased and Icon and an Allakai. Thank you Phil for passing on the phone number to request owners manuals.
I have another question, that my just qualify as one of the dumber ones here. Close at least.
How do you properly size a BC? We bought these from a dive shop that's a 2 hour drive away. We relied on them to fit the BC's to us. We've since tried them on at home, multiple time, messing around with the various adjustments.
My question is:
where should the belt be positioned on your body, how high or low?
I've seen pictures of divers wearing BC's and they all seem to be right across the stomach, that's where our are when the shoulder straps are properly adjusted. Is this right? Or does the belt go lower toward the hips. Waistbelt or Hipbelt?
I just wanted to get some advice here on how to properly adjust our BC's.
Would it be possible for phil or someone from Mares to post any Mares BC sizing figures here.
Or just some general sizing guidelines or advice.
Thanks for any opinions.
Take care,
Mitch
