Questions & Answers

Shopper : how much does the xl and xxl weigh?Linda F : 2X is 13 pounds. Worth the added suitcase weight because the large size is hard to rent on many dive excursions.Mario C : xl 9.8 lbs xxl 10.2 lbs
KRISTY D : This BC is not noted as being a travel BC. Would an extra small possibly be the equivalent to a Lg or XL travel BC?RICHARD B : No. It’s a travel BC because it dries quickly. My 15 year old daughter has tha XS and my son has the M past down from me. It’s still my favorite BC for ease of use and buoyancy control.
Shopper : How do I know what size these used and demo BCDs are?KEVIN F : We currently have Medium, Large, and XL in used.MARSHALL R : BCD size is marked on BCD.MICK M : They have a size drop down box.
MICHAEL B : Does this BC have a hard tank support plate on the back? There's only one picture of it on here. ThanksMIKE F : There is a small tank support but the inside of the BC has really nice support padding. Hope this helps.RENE L : Yes it doesGUSTAVO I : It has a Kevlar or hard platic plate with two straps to hold the tank. It iwears very comfortable and the tank is very secure with the two straps. Very well assembled with attention to detail using good materials. Will last a long time.Craig H : Yes, Works greatLouis T : No it does not have a plate of any kind on the back..
STEVE S : Have the older Avid CQR2 and like it a lot, except it frequently chafes back of my neck. Does CQR3 have lowered neckline in back, and/or neoprene padding? Can't tell from photos.Doug A : I dive with a full wet suit and have not experienced any discomfort in the neck area. That may not be the case without the suit, I have nothing to compare neck lines between the 2 and 3 models. I can say that the 3 is a very comfortable BC.CRAIG N : I love this BCD. I made 27 dives in two weeks over the holidays, and had no problems with chafing of any kind.MICK M : It must do because it doesn`t cut into my neck at all, I really like this BC, it works well, well made and true to size.Louis T : I am sorry I don't know if it was cut lower in the back. It doesn't have any special padding. Mine has never rubbed on the back of my neck. I hope this is helpful.RICHARD B : It does not have padding, but I have never had a problem with it chaffing my neck. I actually have 3 of these, XS, S and Medium for my kids. It is a very comfortable BC. I still like it better than my back inflate when on the surface.RALPH A : no to both...this has a sewn folded over neckline. Very hard on the neck if you do not wear a wetsuit. Hope this helps Ralph

About Sherwood Avid CQR 3 BCD Medium

The AVID CQR½3 features an updated weight release system providing more convenience and ease when installing and removing the pockets. The redesigned styling of the traditional jacket-style AVID maintains its respected functionality, comfort and dependability. The AVID CQR½3 is a natural progression in Sherwood's forward-moving product development.

This jacket-style BC wraps air completely around you for easy floating. 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. BC is equipped with six convenient, stainless steel D-rings to attach your gear and zippered utility side pockets for additional scuba accessories. A convenient utility pocket with hook and loop closure sized to carry the Akona Safety Tube (SKU: AKNST). A removable and adjustable sternum strap for a complete fit and an easy to operate oral and power inflator makes buoyancy control a snap when diving.

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. The AVID CQR 3 BCD is available in multiple sizes with a lift capacity of 20 to 36 lbs. (9 to 16.3 kg). The air cell is manufactured with durable and heavy-duty 1000 Denier that is urethane laminated for air tight integrity.
