Been using this BCD for more than a year now and it’s still in great condition. The durable material holds up well, and the D-rings are super handy for my torch and camera. No complaints so far!

Chen Wei –
The weight release system on the Mares Icon MRS Plus BCD is really smooth and easy to operate, even with gloves on. The fit is comfortable for longer dives, but I wish the pockets were a bit deeper for larger accessories.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your feedback, Chen Wei. We’re glad you found the weight release system and overall comfort satisfactory, and we will pass on your comments regarding the pocket size to our product team for consideration.
Rohit Kumar –
Is this BCD compatible with my older Mares regulator and what is the best way to maintain the bladder material after saltwater dives?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Rohit, the Mares Icon MRS Plus BCD is compatible with all standard regulators, including older Mares models. To maintain the bladder, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the BCD inside and out with fresh water after saltwater dives, and storing it partially inflated in a cool, away-from-sunlight area.
