Both myself and my wife had Guardians from ND and they were realy good. I have since gone beyond the jackets abilities as I have just bought twin 12s but found the quality, lift and fit all very good - not to mention the price, ND are now doing the one I still have for £185 new, this has got to be a bargain. As I mentioned, I still have mine in a size Large, but I seem to remember that you are one of our younger members? so I'm not sure if it would be a bit big or you think you would grow into it? I'll sell it for around half price if you are interested anyway, and yes, it's mint.

James

My missus had a Mares Vector Origin and I used it on holiday recently as my wing was too big to take. First time back in a BCD for about a year and it felt quite comfortable. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it doesn't have a chest strap, but saying that I didn't miss it.

I'm a big fan of the Seaquest Balance.. used one in the UK for ages.... the new models are much nicer than mine though!

It's the most comfortable bcd I've owned or used... - It is a weight integrated wing style jacket with leaves your front unencombered.

I use either the balance or CD wing depending on where I am/what I'm doing...

Cheers
Neil
