The Fairwind is a solid mid-tier diver that punches above its weight in terms of finishing and lume application, but honestly it feels like it's caught between the value play divers and the premium crowd without quite nailing either lane. Movement is reliable and the overall wearability is there, but at this price point you're basically choosing between this and a bunch of other competent options that might give you more character. If you're specifically after something different from the usual suspects, it's worth a shot, but it's not going to change your collecting philosophy.
