Have you considered a wing bc instead of a jacket? Imho, a much better rig for multiple reasons-- travel weight (~6 lbs. for a full setup), streamlining, buoyancy control, swim position, dive weight (I use ~ 6 lbs. for warm water) to name a few.

The Zeagle Stiletto, Dive Rite TransPac Single or Dive Rite Hydro-Lite are a few good examples of the breed and all are highly rated for both comfort and utility.

Just my 0.02.

Wasn't that thrilled with it so you can have some. Very smooth but not good enough flavor for me. Need to try again.

If you're a Tequila fan, I highly recommend this..
Very smooth yet flavourful. And you know I'm a diehard Rum guy.

Inventory of new cars is down IMO. Tried to buy a Mercedes GLE 450 but none to be had in Phoenix. Lots of 350s (4 cylinder) but a test drive convinced me they are modern station wagons for soccer moms and not the least bit fun to drive.

In truth the best car I test drove was a used 2019 X7 with the V8. Holy shit did that drive smooth and had balls. But, if I bought it I'd have to open the garage door to get around it to my golf cart. Too long. And the new X5 came with 1.90 % interest versus used car 3.29 and the used one was still more expensive. But it was a smooth car. If I needed it and had room I'd place the X7 right at the top of likes.

Sounds like we paralleled a lot this past week. Also grabbed an x5, faced inventory scarcity, tried many other brands including the Merc and refused to do 4 cyl things. Came right back to an x5. Went the couple years old route though. Nice ride, I like it.

I like my Rupes Bigfoot buffer so much I decided to get it a little brother - Rupes Nano for all those hard to reach places. I'm glad tomorrow is going to be a nice day.
