The Cressi Lightwing has to be one of the lightest BCD’s on the market at just 4.6 lb / 2 kg (M). It features a fast folding system for quick, easy, and compact storage. This does mean that there are not as many fancy features—it has all the essentials and does the job well.
Rear inflation means this BCD will not obstruct your movement when in the water. For any male or female diver who likes to travel, the Cressi Lightwing is a great choice.
Our Overall Review
Reasons to buy:
-
It really is ultralight!
-
Easy to pack away with the fast folding system.
-
Soft backplate.
Reasons NOT to buy:
Being so lightweight, there are no metal D-rings.
No cummerbund. Need to make sure the straps tighten up enough to fit around the waist.
Best for Travel diving
