Mares Prestige SLS BCD Review

Mares manufactures everything you could need for your diving adventures including masks, fins, wetsuits, boots, regulators, and BCDs. Their equipment is top of the line, and the company has a stellar reputation for producing equipment that meets the needs of divers from the novice diver to the salty veteran. The Prestige SLS is no exception.

Made with 420 cordura and urethane laminate, the Prestige SLS is tough enough to last you for years. At less than nine pounds, the Prestige can meet the needs of travelers and local divers alike.

Adjustable at the shoulders, waist, and chest, the Prestige can fit a variety of divers. With two stainless steel and four technopolymer D-Rings, the Prestige ensures divers don’t have to choose what gear to leave on the boat.

The Slide & Lock System (SLS) delivers both an audible click as well visual confirmation of correct integrated weight insertion. With 38 pounds of lift (in the large size) divers will feel comfortable both underwater and at the surface.
