Rating: Aquatec Horsecollar BC
Reviewer: Derek G., Friday, August 22, 2008
as a longtime diver, i was thrilled to find a decent new horsecollar bc as my old one gave up the ghost a month ago after more than twenty years of faithful service. the low profile aquatec bc, with its 40 pounds of lift, fitted my needs perfectly. ive tried different vests but my personal preference for the kind of diving im doing, is a good horsecollar.
four dives later im thrilled with my purchase. i have a couple of minor complaints but, overall, this horsecollar bc is a winner. when my buddy handed me a twelve-pound cannonball to bring back to the boat, there was more than adequate lift as i swam on the surface.
the complaints: 1) if you have a large head and youre wearing a hood, getting this vest on is going to be a problem. 2) the inflator hose is about 4 inches too short, which means that the inflator unit is sticking up off my chest in a most inconvenient fashion. not a big problem im sure ive got an old hose kicking around someplace. 3) the green-colored power inflator button has a low profile. if youre wearing neoprene gloves, activating this with cold hands might be a problem. 4) as far as i can tell, this bc comes only in black. looks cool, but yellow would improve the divers visibility when on the surface.
