well asI stated earlier I too use the sherwood avid jacket BC
firast I dont get the squeeze like most jacket bc I have used , second many D rings , and for the Akona pro kit was stated not very good quality well they are wrong the light is princtonic light ratee to 2000 feet and great back up light and knife does good enough for what its inteded for and the console retractor is same one you would by any wear else .
with that said it does have two tank straps with is great no more loose or uncoming tanks which it seems is coming more freguate on the off shore dives I do seems to see one every boat trip know .
and the little pocket is for ther folding snokal if you like me its easy and great idea , three dump valves, one on the bottom the Inflator hose , and one on the shoulder.
and the trim weights around the back can hold as much as ten poinds and then the removable weoghts which can hold ten pounds each side for total of 30 ibs of weight, my self can't get used to the back bladder iflated type so I like the jacket and will keep using this one I got close to 180 dives on this BC and yes the pockets are litle harder to get to I still can get into them and use them, try several other and if possible in pool with every thing one look for quality , fit, squeeze lift and other things you will need or want later on most diver end up owning more than one BC in there time .
