If you get any of the new Mares Battle Blue BP&W in could you do a review of it I have been dying to see what it looks like. I keep hearing its awesome from Mares dealers but no one has a picture.
We definitely plan on stocking these. If you have an email, I will be happy to send you some pictures of the Blue Battle BCD. Unfortunately, they will not be available until the beginning of 2019. With this being said, they are identical to the Red Devil, just different color scheme. Here is our review of the Red Devil system. ua-cam.com/video/5fTEDhLz13M/v-deo.html
How is it going @lakehickoryscuba. I have been binge watching your videos and love them. I am new to diving and really looking for help on my bcd. I am looking for a 2xl bcd and struggling to find one. Any suggestions? Thank you for tour time!
Thank you very much for taking the time to get back to me. Ihave been watching and researching scuba videos for the past week and really enjoy your channel. I decided to go with all mares gear!
@@LakeHickoryScuba Thanks for your reply. I have bought one in XXS size. What is the maximum buoyancy then? Since I can't find any indication on the BCD.
Thank you for your review! I want this for traveling, but I also want to get into local diving in a dry suit. What is your opinion about using this BCD with a dry suit? Thank you!
Hello Andrey Karayvansky, you can use any BCD for Drysuit diving. I personally own well over 15 BCD's, including Jackets, Back Inflates, Back Plate and Wings, Hybrids, Sidemount, etc. etc., and use them all while Drysuit diving.
This was DEMO version sent to us by our Sales Rep. Not sure if this is the final version in regards to the weight pouches being removable. We should know after DEMA.
Thorough yet concise review.
Thank You Nick

Wouldn’t an aluminium back plate & wings be lighter for travel?
Possibly, each diver has to choose what will work best for them.

Hello Jeff St Thomas, several manufactures make larger style BCD's. In the Mares line up, look at the Rover Pro BCD. It goes all the way up to 3XL.

If you can send me an email, I can send you a product sheet for that specific BCD. It will show the lift for each size. lakehickoryscuba@gmail.com

When u put on this BCD, Is the straps durable or strong enough to sustain the weight of the tank and weight in the integrated pocket?
Hello julian kieh jen, it sure is. We have sold several of these and have never had a customer have any issues with them.
Wow! That looks very nice! Are the weight pockets removable? They look huge for such a lightweight and compact BCD.
