Extra-extra large purchaser

This is my first-ever BC purchased after 35+ years of vacation rentals. The only reason that I wanted to own a BC is that, due to a certain prosperity in through the waistband, I began having difficulty wearing rental bc's, and using weight belts. I was careful to look for the best options for large people (I'm 6.2, 310 pounds). I dove with it several times in Key Largo in summer 2021 and I am extremely pleased with the fit and comfort. I have the large model, long straps, 50 lb. lift version. I have the straps dialed almost to the minimum (recent dives were rash guard only) and the BC has a huge amount of adjustability. I was skeptical of sherwood's marketing but I will now say that I think pretty much up to 6.8, and (way) more than 350 lb. is very much comfortably doable with this BC. The BC itself is slimline & uncluttered, and is what I consider appropriate for travel. I don't think Sherwood is calling it a travel BC but it is. Everything worked great and was well thought out & high quality. Complaints are: no little loops presewn into the pockets (BC comes with two removable pockets and a removable knife mount), too much Sherwood Scuba written all over everything (all six pockets, velcro closure over inflator hose, jacket interior) and no documentation/instructions available (even on website) (I wanted care instructions)t. Overall, I think it's a great BC, especially in that due to the vast adjustability, it's got universal application for warm or cold water. I liked its great fit for large (huge) people and it's quality construction, with lots of nice extras (double tank straps, other stuff). I'm very pleased, five stars

Sherwood Crux BCD

The Crux BCD utilizes truly innovative sizing methods. Please refer to both the sizing chart and video below for more information.

Sherwood Crux BCD

The Sherwood Crux is a BCD designed with the diver in mind, the sizing is practically infinite, and it's packed with features. Dive light weight and streamlined in warmer waters or add additional trim weight pockets and dive in colder waters. This modular BC is easy to disassemble and assemble to pack small for travel. The fit, form, and function are unlike any BCD on the market today. The philosophy behind the Crux started several years ago with a focus on form, fit and function. The goal was to create an innovate BCD that continues to mold and fit to not only your body but your dive-style. Revolutionizing the diving experience, you'll only ever need one BCD again: The Crux.

MARS (Micro-Adjust Retention System). Easy to adjust shoulder and waist straps provide a custom fit to any diver for any condition. Only the features you want. All options are customizable and can be added or removed based on your needs. Adjustable shoulder straps with Molle Chain for full customization and multiple connection points. 3D back-inflation air-cell. The unique air cell provides 40 or 50 lbs. (18.1 or 22.67kg) of lift without big and bulky wings. Neoprene-wrapped neck roll for comfort with or without a wetsuit. Padded and ergonomic back-pad supports diver's lumbar. Three separate connection points allow sternum strap height to be adjusted to diver's preference. Releasable and non-releasing trim weight pockets.

Totally Customizable: There are only four sizes that fit all those body types. One of the keys to fitting such a broad range of sizes is how the shoulder straps and waist straps are designed and connect to the harness through tri-glides that allow for unique and endless adjustments. The Crux can fit someone who is 5'0 (152cm) & 90 lbs. (41kg) all the way up the 6'8" (203cm) & 300 lbs. (136kg). While most BCDs increase in waist and shoulder length together as the size of the BCD increases, the Crux can fit you properly no matter the combination of your height or waist circumference. Whether you are tall or short; thin or have a bit more to love, the Crux can provide the perfect fit for you.

For whatever your dive adventure is that day. Available in four straps color options that are interchangeable to match your gear. (black, magenta, tiffany, and steel blue). The Crux can be adjusted for any diving environment. You want to dive in the warm waters in Fiji with no wetsuit or ice dive in Tobermory, Canada with a dry suit? No problem! Future meet the Crux. It's like diving without a BCD... except you are. Sherwood's revolutionary BCD is streamlined and can be customized to fit any body type. Truly brilliant.

BCD is equipped with torso adjustable shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap and waist strap all employing squeeze-style side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. Compact drop-down mesh pocket stays out of the way until you need it. System ready for Akona Pro Kits and Quick Clips (see SKU's: GNSRK, GNSRKL). Dual cylinder cam lock buckle straps add stability to this fantastic back inflation BCD wing. The integrated releasable weigh pockets have a capacity of 10 lbs. (4.54kg) each with the non-releasable rear trim pockets having a 5 lbs. (2.27kg) capacity each.

Buoyancy control is provided by Sherwood's Power Inflator System. The inflator mechanism has a cable activated pull dump that is easy to activate with a tug of the inflator control. The inflator includes a standard 3/8" threaded low pressure quick disconnect hose. The BCD is also equipped with right shoulder and lower right rear pull-dump/over pressure relief valves to provide trim while in any position underwater. The right shoulder and right lower dump valves come with pull cable with knob for easy activation when needed. Sliding epaulette can be repositioned along the corrugated hose to optimized position to diver's preference. The standard large size has a dry weight of 9.3 lbs. (4.2kg). BCD is available in multiple sizes.
