The Problue Orion Sidemount BCD is perfect for recreational diving! The 20 lbf buoyancy capacity is just right for beginners like me. Can you provide more information on the materials used for the exterior 420 denier nylon/ PU inner bladder?

Thank you for sharing your review of the Problue Orion Sidemount BCD! We’re glad to hear it’s been a great fit for you. The exterior 420 denier nylon and PU inner bladder are indeed durable materials designed for long-lasting performance. The 420 denier nylon provides a high level of resistance to wear and tear, while the PU inner bladder ensures smooth inflation and deflation. If you have any further questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re always here to help.

Does the heavy-duty 1000 denier nylon withstand a lot of wear and tear? Have you tried using it for extended dives?

I’ve tried a few different sidemount BCDs and this one is my favorite so far. The power line inflator is a game-changer – it makes inflation so much easier. Only minor complaint is that the manual dump valve can be a bit tricky to use.
Eva Wong –
What if you need to quickly deflate the air cell? Is the manual dump valve reliable?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Eva. The manual dump valve on the Problue Orion Sidemount BCD is designed for quick and easy venting of the air cell. It’s located on the lower right front side of the BCD, making it easily accessible. The valve is also heavy-duty, ensuring it withstands frequent use. We’ve received positive feedback from customers who appreciate the reliability of the manual dump valve. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I was blown away by how comfortable the Problue Orion Sidemount BCD was to wear! The 360-degree donut style wing provided excellent buoyancy control, and I loved the adjustable harness for a snug fit. Definitely worth every penny!
