Re: Backplate or Jacket
That is so true, we tend to purchase what we used in the Open Water Class.  Not that it is bad, but just the fact that we know it works.  The first BC I purchased was a nice jacket-style and had the integrated weight system.  I purchased the integrated weight system simply because as a guy, I have no hips, a have a little belly, but no hips, so I have a hard time keeping a weightbelt on.

I am not saying that one is better than the other, those that dive with me know my preference.  But now that I am required to occasionally wear a jacket-style BC, I am saying, "Hey, these things aren't that bad."
