Siti Hisham –
I like how light and comfortable the Silhouette BCD feels, especially during boat entries and exits. It’s easy to adjust and fits snugly, even with a wetsuit on. The only thing is I wish the pockets were a bit larger for easier access.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Siti. We’re glad you found the BCD comfortable and easy to adjust. We’ll definitely pass your suggestion about the pocket size to the design team for future improvements.
Rajendran Nair –
Is the integrated weight system compatible with standard weight pouches? I want to make sure I can use my current dive weights with this BCD.

Hi Rajendran, the integrated weight system on the Sherwood Silhouette BCD is designed to fit most standard weight pouches commonly used in recreational diving. However, for best performance, we recommend checking the size of your pouches against the BCD’s pockets or reaching out to our customer service with your current pouch measurements.
Chen Wei Liang –
Bought this BCD for my liveaboard trip. Very impressed with the durable material—held up well after multiple dives per day and still looks new. The hybrid bladder gave me great control underwater, but I had to get used to the inflator mechanism at first.

Thank you, Wei Liang, for your detailed review. We’re pleased to hear the BCD’s durability and hybrid bladder worked well for you. The inflator mechanism can take a bit of practice, but we’re here if you have any questions or need tips for optimal use.
