Size

Most BCD’s are unisex, which means that both men and women can wear them. BCD’s for women are especially designed for women. These BCD’s are more narrow at the shoulders and shorter in length, to ensure that it is snug around the waist. Children’s BCD’s are available in smaller sizes.

Integrated weight system

BCD’s which have an integrated weight system are already equipped with weight pockets. The weights themselves are never included. BCD’s which have an optional integrated weight system are not equipped with weight pockets. These can be purchased separately. BCD’s which have no pockets for the weight can only be used with a weight belt.

BCD Type

A jacket BCD has air-chambers at the sides of the BCD. A wing BCD only has a bladder at the back. The pro’s of a jacket is that it will be easier to stay up-right at the surface. The pro of using a wing is that you will have more freedom of movement at the sides and front of the body.
