Exactly what I hoped it would be

I ordered this BCD for our trip (that got canceled) to Roatan, Belize, and Mexico. I needed something light yet durable to take with me. I'm 5'10" 170lbs and the Medium fit great. The bioflex material is really nice, and the overall construction is all quality. It's streamlined and very comfortable.

Perfect travel BCD

I love my BCD! Therebis a bit of a learning curve to dump air because of the back inflate but I knew that going into it. It came with only one weight pocket and the customer service was fantastic and immediate sent another. The BCD is very
comfortable!!

weight pockets

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2023

I like this product except for the weight pockets. Too easy for the dump able pocket in pocket to slip through the gap. To replace the pocket is $46, quite pricey

light and durable but limited by a single tank strap, loose fit, and loss-prone weight pocket

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019

I have had and used this BC for 3 years, and it is my primary BC at this time. I bought it because it was light and because I could use the Oceanic Air XS 2 integrated inflator/regulator with it (the Air XS 2 was not compatible with my other BC, a Zeagle Ranger, due to a different inflator input and smaller diameter corrugated hose).
Diving with an wireless air transmitter and the integrated regulator means that I only have only two hoses coming from my tank, which is liberating. This BC is also light and durable.
However, I remain a reluctant user mainly because of its poor tank attachment. Having a very short back plate with only 1 strap, near the top of the tank means that the tank moves a lot, and that I have to constantly nudge it in place on my bag while diving. It is annoying, especially given that the BC cannot be tightened enough around the body and moves/rolls with the tank. Another negative is that the weight pockets make it easy to lose the weight pouches - they simply slip out through the gaps. The pockets have a zipper on top but a buckled strap on the bottom, with lots of room for the weights to squeeze through around the strap.
Because of these issues I have decided to finally get an integrated inflator/reg for the Zeagle and go back to it as my primary, leaving the Biolite for occasional travel.

Great BC

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022

Color: Black / BlueSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I love this BC. Very packable, integrated weights that are easy to drop. No excessive loops or other stuff to get in your way. Comfortable to wear.

Very easy to get on and off both in and out of the water. If you want a cumber bun you can order it from oceanic but you will never miss it!

Other than weight pockets, this bcd has no pockets, so if you need a lot of pockets consider a different option.

Male. 5' 11" 160 lbs. Medium fits perfect.

Five Star Seller, I was a bit unsure about ordering from the states. But the tracking and the communication from the seller was Excellent. Arrived within 5 days! The Bio Lite BCD is fantastic, can't wait to take it to Egypt. Love the colour (mainly back, with pink) and it's easy to use / pack up in your suitcase. Would use again, Thank you :)
