Aisha Rahman –
Used the Mares Vector 1000 at MRS + BCD for my recent diving trip in Tioman. Really liked how comfortable it felt even after a few long dives, and the integrated weight system works smoothly. The only small issue was the quick-drain pockets sometimes a bit tricky to access with thick gloves, but overall, very happy with the quality.

Marcus Tan –
Is the Modular Rear System weight release on this BCD easy to operate with just one hand? I usually dive with thick gloves, so looking for something intuitive.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Marcus. The MRS+ integrated weight system on the Mares Vector 1000 is designed for one-handed operation and remains accessible even when wearing thick gloves, ensuring quick and reliable releases if needed.
Liang Wei –
This BCD fits very well and feels secure. Adjusting the harness was easy, and the padding makes it comfortable for hour-long dives. I wish it came in more colour options though.
