Bought this for my son. He won't be able to use it until the summer. But, it's the newest version of mine, which I've had for about 15 years. And I love mine.

Sherwood Avid Phantom
By David C.
This BCD is awesome!! It's designed perfectly and fits like a dream!!
This Sherwood Avid Phantom is a jacket-style BC that wraps air completely around you for easy flotation. When fully inflated, the 3-D air cell and the suspension strap system combines to create a stable and secure fit that is designed to eliminate squeeze. The CQR-3 system provides a simple and reliable means to carry weights on the BC. Balanced for a comfortable swimming body position. Improved forward buckle location eases loading of weight pockets.
The highly regarded CQR-3 weight system provided convenience, stability and ease of weight insertion, all the while boasting the most secure weight integrated system in the market today. The larger handles on the CQR-3 system are superb with thicker gloves as well. The CQR-3 releasable weight pockets hold from 8 lbs. to 13 lbs. (3.63 kg to (5.9kg) in each pocket depending on the BC size. All sizes have two rear trim weight non-releasable pockets that hold 5 lbs. (2.27kg) in each pocket for enhanced stability. Buoyancy control is provided by three dump valves strategically located at the left and right shoulders with a third on the lower left of the air cell make dumping air a breeze. The right and lower dump/overpressure relief-valves have pull dump handles for quick access. The third valve is integrated to the top of the Sherwood power inflator and is activate by a cable running down the corrugated inflator hose. Air can also be release through the oral inflation mouthpiece via the oral activation button. The Avid Phantom BCD power inflator comes equipped with a 3/8" threaded low-pressure quick-disconnect hose.
BC is equipped with six convenient, stainless-steel D-rings, multiple clips to attach your gear and zippered utility side pockets for additional scuba accessories. A removable and adjustable sternum strap for a complete fit with squeeze-style side release buckles on shoulder torso straps, waist with cummerbund and sternum for a perfect custom fit. The Avid Phantom BCD has variable lift capacity depending on the BCD size. The XS provides 22 lbs. (10kg) of lift, the SM provides 27 lbs. (12.25kg) of lift, the MD provides 32 lbs. (14.5kg), the LG provides 35 lbs. (15.9kg), the XL, 2XL and 3-5XL provide 40 lbs. (18.14kg) of lift capacity. The air cell is manufactured with durable and heavy-duty 1000 Denier that is urethane laminated with radio frequency (RF) welded seams for air tight integrity. BCD comes with an owner's manual.
