Overall, I’m really impressed with this high-end scuba gear. The Heavy-duty nylon material used for the construction and exterior is top-notch. The addition of the three dump-valve and two upper over pressure valves at the shoulders with rapid exhaust features is really efficient. I’ve taken it to the Philippines and used it for multiple dives with no issues. Highly recommended! -Shelby Mathews

Can anyone tell me more about the durability of the exterior material used in this product? Hopefully, it can withstand the harsh conditions of the ocean.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Cecilia. We’re glad you asked about the durability of our Problue Pioneer BCD’s exterior material. The main construction of the BCD is made from heavy-duty 840 denier nylon, which is renowned for its exceptional strength and resistance to abrasion, tears, and degradation from environmental factors. Additionally, the bladder of the BCD is made from high-quality 840 denier nylon /PU, which further enhances its durability. We’ve designed the BCD with harsh ocean conditions in mind, and numerous divers have tested it in various environments without significant issues. However, we’d like to note that the lifespan of our BCD ultimately depends on proper maintenance, regular cleaning, and storage. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I love the Problue Pioneer, it’s really easy to use and pack up after each dive. However, I do wish it came with an additional storage pouch. The 3 dump-valve feature is also really efficient. I’ve taken it to multiple dive sites around the region and it’s been a game-changer -Eliana Lee

Easy to use! No issues with the manual dump valve and it holds air really well. The shoulder pads can be a bit uncomfortable, but overall great experience!

I’ve used this product for a week now and I’m absolutely loving it! The blades are easy to inflate and deflate, and the harness feels really comfortable. The only thing I wish they had is a more secure phone pocket.

Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question. Yes, the bladder of the Problue Pioneer BCD is made of high-quality 840 denier nylon /PU, which is known for its durability and ability to withstand various diving conditions. This material ensures the bladder can maintain its shape and perform well even when subjected to the pressure of the water.

Is the 840 denier nylon material used in the construction of the Problue Pioneer BCD prone to wear and tear? From my experience, cheap scuba gear tends to have a shorter lifespan.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concern, Nelson. The 840 denier nylon material used in the Problue Pioneer BCD is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. In fact, it’s a high-quality material often used in high-end scuba gear. Our dive equipment is designed to withstand regular use and harsh underwater conditions, so you can expect a longer lifespan. Having said that, proper maintenance and care are still essential to extending the life of your gear. I’d be happy to provide more information on how to care for your BCD if you’d like.
