Sport Diver Magazine's 2011 Gear Buyer's Guide: MARES Hybrid MRS Plus

An ingenious folding backpack and detachable harness give a great blend of comfort and fit.
Rather than following the trend of compact travel BCs, Mares is redefining it with the new Hybrid. At the BC’s core is a rigid, hinged backpack that folds in half for easy stowing but still delivers in-water stability and major comfort as only a backpack can. Complementing this system is a completely detachable harness and air cell, ultra-low-profile exhaust valves and special padding for a just-right fit.
