Used the Sherwood Avid BCD on my last trip to Tioman. The fit was very comfortable and I had no trouble adjusting the straps for my size. My only minor gripe is that the inflator hose felt a bit stiff initially, but it softened up after a few dives.

Thank you, Mr Lim, for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the comfort and adjustability of the Sherwood Avid BCD, and we appreciate your comments about the inflator hose—it typically becomes more flexible with regular use. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Is the integrated weight system suitable for use with lead shot pouches, or does it only take hard weights?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Ms Anusha, the integrated weight pockets on the Sherwood Avid BCD can accommodate both hard weights and lead shot pouches. Just ensure the specific pouch or weight fits securely in the pocket for safe use.

I’ve been diving with this BCD for a few months and it holds up well, even with frequent shore entries. The utility pockets are roomy enough for my SMB and backup torch. Wish the D-rings were positioned a bit higher for easier access.
