After one year the back plate split in two places...

After one year the back plate split in two places so the BCD now rocks around during a dive. The inflator hose also sticks from time to time when I want to release air. Lastly, the zip on one of the integrated pouches has broken. That's a lot to go wrong after a short time. I had my last BCD for over four years and only bought the Mares Hybid because I was looking for a lighter BC.

Just used this for the first time in the Red Sea - I found it to be very bouyant and I really didnt need to fully inflate the bcd on the surface at any time. Pockets are limited by the integrated weights but they do expand enough to fit most things. The weight system is great - no chunky weights digging into your hips! The suspension belt is super comfy and keeps the tank off your back. Folds up nice and small saving space in my bag and equipment box at the dive centre. Sizes are snug so be prepared for that. It's a little on the costly side but worth every penny.

I spent ages deciding on a new BC as I was looking for something comfortable and versatile for both UK and abroad and the Hybrid ended up ticking all the boxes. My only negative points would be it's not that quick at dumping air and the sizes are quite small (I normally have a Large and had to take XL) but it does have a fully adjustable cummerbund. The folding back plate saves so much space in may bag as well.
