The Mares Prestige BCD is a unisex jacket‑style buoyancy control device designed for recreational and professional divers who require dependable lift, comfort and flexible configuration.

Constructed from abrasion-resistant 420 denier Cordura, the BCD weighs approximately 3.9 kg in size L and delivers a lift capacity of around 180 newtons. It includes Mares’ standard integrated weight system, with weight pockets sized at 4 kg for smaller sizes and 6 kg from size M upward. Rear trim pockets help fine-tune buoyancy and trim underwater.

Two zippered, self-draining pockets provide storage for equipment, while five stainless-steel D-rings, positioned at the shoulders and waist, allow for the secure attachment of accessories. Knife grommets and an optional sleeve for a line cutter are also integrated into the design. A pull-forward waist strap and soft back padding contribute to a secure and comfortable fit.

The bladder wraps around the diver’s torso, delivering balanced lift and stability at the surface. The Ergo inflator offers intuitive inflation and deflation, with controls that are easily managed even when wearing gloves.

The Mares Prestige BCD is suitable for divers seeking a reliable, well-equipped buoyancy control device that supports various diving conditions and equipment configurations.
