Great BCD for a woman

Great BCD for a woman, very comfortable and fits snugly yet not restrictively so. It is not as heavy as some tend to think (M size is just under 4 kg) but it's 4kg of pure diving bliss. You feel safe and secure in it, when adding air it hugs you instead of squashing. Never had a problem with integrated weights either, the thing is you shouldn't put more weight than stated in the integrates, and soft weights are a must.

First BCD I

First BCD I've bought. Feels really comfortable and secure. I do find it a bit on the neat side though, just in terms of getting into it, feels fine when its on. I'm a size 12, and got the M (12-14) to wear with a drysuit. I also find it impossible to get things in or out of the pockets as they are so far behind me and very tight. But this might be improved by getting a size up. Weights seem to release easily, and there are lots of convenient places to attach stuff. Based on a previous review I was extra careful to make sure weights were secure, but this was easily done as they do click when pushed in all the way.

Bought for my wife

Bought for my wife, so cannot comment personally. However, she really likes it, ergonomically it fits her very well and the styling is good.

I am a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and have tried many type of bcds but i have found none as comfortable as this bcd. With the amount of diving i do which is usually at least 2 dives a day 6 days a week its has lasted incredably well, ive had my kaila for 3 seasons of diving and never had a problem with it once! My next jacket will definantly be another kaila.

Excellent BCD

Excellent BCD.Rented various BCD's in the past,this is the most comfortable.I found wearing all my weighting on my weight belt was uncomfortable and due to my short upper body, I found I couldn't release the weight belt in an emergency as the rented BCD would trap it.Now I can spread my weights out between my BCD and weight belt, which has improved my bouyancy and comfort beyond belief.I love the weight pockets, easy to use, but I would suggest that you ensure the weight pockets are secure prior to diving, as I have already lost one,but replacements are relatively cheap and easy to find.A great piece of equipment for female divers who wish to maintain bouyancy and have comfort whilst diving.

This BC is fabulous

This BC is fabulous. I have tried various BC's now, both mens and womens, and certainly, for little people like me, this is great. I've got the XS, which has plenty of capacity to adjust and I don't have to do it up to the maximum. It is a very comfortable fit, doesnt strain the shoulders and comfy round the waist. i love the additional lumbar support which was a key buying feature for me. its great for anyone with an arched back as it supports my lower back and helps stop all the weight clunking onto my hips. Plenty of additional features - D-rings for attaching stuff etc etc. The weight release system is fine - easy to use and I like the red handles so you can spot the pull tabs in an emergency.
