I know there are a lot of threads about female BCs, and about Compare this and that. This is different. I've searched and searched, and have not found the "perfect" BC. There are a few things that are most haves, and The others are just that I know what I'm looking for. It's just that I can't find one! I'll lay out a list of what I'm looking for, and if there's anything that meets my criteria, I'm sure you all will tell me about it! You're awesome like that!!!
I want a jacket style, not a BP/W. I'm 5'2, and top heavy. In most of my diving, 7mm, I use 12lbs.
Must have:
Either a neoprene rolled neck, or wide neck. I have neck problems.
Back inflate, or explain hybrid. I can not tolerate the full jacket bladder.
Want:
D Rings. Not just the ones on the shoulder, but AT LEAST 2 at the bottom, and others are extra.
Accessible pockets. I need to be able to use them!
Grommets for mounting are nice, but not necessary.
Trim Weight pockets
Dump valves.
Integrated weights, preferably the kind with the pull handle. (Gotta be secure, though!)
Something that I can travel with. Not a travel BC, but not too bulky.
I dive warm and cold, salt and fresh. That is your challenge. Let's see what you come up with!!!
