i have been looking the last several months for a BCD I figured Ill add my two cents. First me ... I am 6'4 380lbs (173 kg) I have dived in the XXL BCD from various manufactures , some fit better then others, but none right . After much research ( finding a company that actually makes a bcd oversized and not just a longer cummerbund.) I have purchased the Sherwood XXXL -5xl AVID comp3 ... I could not be more happy. It fits around my sides and down my shoulders as well as sits as it should on my waist line. Rather than looking like a fat guy in a little bcd, I actually look relatively normal. The integrated weight bags work great and the jacket has a lot of d rings pockets and clips. I have tried the wing and harness setup , though you can make things fit it is definitely not made for big humans . the shoulders are narrow on some and they are always short ,,,, you end up with the rings andclips up near your shoulder tops ... FYI though I am heavy my body is not obese (... 60 inch chest , very broad shoulders 22inch neck but a 44 waist ) , so the wing set up may fit other normal bigger people better The sherwood was definitely designed by a big person for a big person ... if anyone needs pics please let me know . kudos to you guys

I joined this board specifically so I could respond to this. I am looking at getting this vest to use for my PADI open water certification. I would love pictures if you get a chance. Thank You in advance!

Not sure how this works so I hope this finds you. What type of pic do you need ? FYI it maybe easier chamilton018 at g mail dot com
 
I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering how the BCD is working out a year later. I'm about your size and on a quest to find a BCD that fits me well.
