Hi there. This is a very good solid BCD. It has a lateral release / clip across the lower neck area to keep it in place and also a good sized abdominal release to keep it very secure. I am 181 cm tall and 83 kilos and the medium sized version fits very well and very snug. it doesn’t creep to the top for me, but ensure you get a BCD which fits you well.
Is this good for travel. Could you post dimensions of the bc folded up
Thanks for the review, I’m in the market for a BC myself and have been leaning towards the Axiom. Only concern of mine is, do you find that it rides up much in the water inflated like on the surface?
