The hydrodynamic jacket style bladder provides a more noticeable comfort than other similar BCs on the market today. With the neoprene padded neck roll, the Avid is the perfect live aboard style BC. After numerous dives, the chaffing and irritation you might experience from other BCDs is completely eliminated. 

The highly regarded CQR-3 weight system provides convenience, stability, and ease of weight insertion, all the while boasting the most secure weight integrated system in the market today. The larger handles on the CQR-3 system are superb with thicker gloves as well.

The Avid 700 Series webbing allows for smoother shoulder and waist strap adjustments. Trim weight pockets provide better accessibility and easier trim weight adjustments.
