Before you decide on what brand you want to buy.. First you have to decide on what type of BC is best for you. I would prefer the Backplate Buoyancy Systems type of BC, but one size doesn’t fit all. You will have to decide on the type of backplate, the harness and size of back-inflation air cell and then combine the entire system to fit your needs. The simple harness of a backplate system leaves the chest area unencumbered and inflating the wing doesn’t create a felling of squeee. Maintaining trim and horizontal swimming position is easier also. So decide on the type of BC you want first. Mike B.
