The Dive360 Take

The Prestige SLS is a sensible place to look when you want a familiar jacket-style BCD with your weights and accessories neatly organised.

Its 420-denier Cordura aircell balances everyday practicality with manageable packing weight. Swivel shoulder buckles help you adjust the harness, while zipped pockets provide somewhere for the smaller essentials.

Why we like it

Main integrated weights and two rear trim pockets give you separate places to organise ballast.

Zipped, self-draining pockets make storage useful without leaving you carrying a pocketful of seawater back onto the boat.

The swivel shoulder buckles help the straps follow your shape. The construction also makes sense for divers who use one BCD locally and on trips.

Who we recommend it to

Recreational divers who prefer jacket-style buoyancy and want integrated weights, trim pockets and zipped storage in a regular-use BCD.

The blue BL and white WH She Dives versions have different fit ranges. Select the appropriate version and use the Mares measurements with your exposure suit. Compare a back-inflation BCD if a less crowded front is your priority.
