Sherwood Avid CQR 3 BCD

Quick answer: The Sherwood Avid CQR 3 is a jacket-style BCD offered in sizes from Small up to 3X-Large. That top-end size is the headline for our crowd: a lot of jacket BCDs stop at XL or XXL.

Why bigger divers should look

A BCD that closes comfortably over your wetsuit, without the cummerbund maxed out, sits more stable in the water and feels better on the surface. With XX-Large and 3X-Large in the lineup, the Avid CQR 3 gives you room to size for your real build instead of squeezing into the largest size a brand happens to make.

Before you buy

Measure your chest and waist while wearing your exposure suit and compare against Sherwood's size chart. The larger sizes cost a little more.
