If you haven't already, you can read reviews of womens BC's at Scuba Diving Magazine - BCs . There is also a review of womens BC's in the August Scuba Diving - if you don't have that PM your email and I can scan and send it to you.

I tried on that BC. It seemed really nice and comfortable. But I couldn't find one that would fit me correctly. In my experience...if you are very petite, you may want to look elsewhere.

my wife recently got one. She likes it very much. The best feature for her is the padding on the inside under the integrated weight pockets. Other BC's used to bruise her hips, but not the Hera.

It's a little heavy, but also neutrally bouyant. Big pockets.

is this BC consider a back inflator?

No it is not. From the ST website, "Patented BioFlex ® Hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs" My guess is that it is designed to not have a lot of squeeze and keep you horizontal in the water.

Bought my wife one of these and she is a fan, she said it was very comfortable overall. She has only been in a ranger and the hera and she has only about 15 dives so its def a rookies opinion. But any opinion is better than none!

My wife has had this BC for over a year with close to 60 dives with it and she loves it.

Finally, i get to try out my new BC at the lake. i love it.
however, it's a little heavy for travel.
