A size question concerning BS's

I'm trying to find a BC which wil comfortably fit my 6'2" 335lb frame, 52
inch chest, you should be getting the idea.

Which Technical BC, (no flashy colors for this guy), would best suit my
needs?

Tao Of The Dive needs to know:

Sorry, but it would best suit your needs to drop about 125 pounds.

I don't know a whole lot about jacket BCs so I cannot help you there -- but
with your body dimensions you may be better of with a harnes/backplate/wing
set up. You can be sure a harness will fit you when a jacket may not.

Wow, way to stay on subject, and way to get off on the wrong foot. I wasn't
asking about my size, I was asking about BC's. My size is none of your
concern. You know not whether I'm muscualar or obese. So lets keep thigns on
track, shall we?

Halcyon = DIR
DIR = Slim and Fit.
Slim and Fit = Short Webbing

therefore:

Halcyon = Short Webbing.

Yup, you'd probably need a source other than Halycon.

Hrmmm -- who did you get your BP/harness from?

In that case -- the OP may be better off stringing his own harness. There
really isn't anything to it. Buy the webbing, rings etc and set it up.

A chap in Barrie Ontario makes plates and stuff. The wing is a Halcyon. So
is the MC Storage Pak.
