Questions about this item:
Shopper Why Did You Choose This?
Bob L Returned it for a medium.
Bob L I shopped for a LONG time trying to figure out what I wanted. I was pretty sure I wanted a Zeagle something. Then this went on sale. Good decision made. 20 dives in the Bahamas. No complaints. Get the split saddle strap to go with it.
Carey S Hi there - just wondering if this BC is well suited to cold water/dry suit diving? The lift seems like it would be enough, but I'm still a bit confused by lift requirements and so figured I should just ask! I live in Switzerland and most of my diving is local, but I would like to have something that I could travel with without too much trouble too.
THAMMALUCK T HMMM, I just finished my first time using this BC on May 26, 2013 in Key Largo, FL. I love it but not sure about cold water. I've not had any experience about that.
Marilyn S This has plenty of lift for diving singles in cold water and plenty of lead capacity too!
Steve M I,m trying to see what the major difference is between the Stiletto and the Stiletto LTD except the Stiletto cost $144 more.
Does the LTD version have a retractable bladder system?
RICHARD H When I bought mine, the LTD had some extras, which included an additional purge valve, and the 2 yellow weight bags. It was on sale at the time for less than the non-LTD version. I'm not aware of any retractable bladder system. Obviously, the MFR website or a phone call to them would likely be your best bet for accurate answers.
JON F Sorry guys,
I have been unable to get in the water with my new gear due to work activity. unable to offer any advice or information at this time.
JOHN P Steve I missed part of your question yes the bladder retracted the same as the stiletto. Basically the stiletto is the base model and the ltd is the deluxe model with all the goodies zeaglle has to offer for it. The cheaper price is because they are discontinuing the ltd option all I can say is if you want a stiletto you won't be sorry you got the ltd
JOHN R I believe the only differences is metal D rings and the amount of weight you can carry. Not 100% but the back padding might be different too, nothing worth the price difference.
BIKRAM D The ltd has more features, includes the retractable bladder. Usually it costs more, but the price may be inverted now because it may be on closeout. Go for the LTD.
The description has the differences.

The description has the differences.
JOHN P The ltd has several extras the regular stiletto does not come with. When
I talked to zeaglle about the two bcd they told me that they were discontinuing the ltd that is why it is less money They told me that the ltd came with rear tanks weights a rear zipper accessory attach point articulating shoulder straps and a front roll up pouch. To add these to the regular stiletto it will cost and extra 2 plus hundred dollars
EDGAR G I dont really see a big difference between the two except ltd was built more to be a travel bc and thats how i see them
MICHAEL Y The Stiletto LTD is on close out that is the reason for the price difference. If you were to purchase the LTD 4 months ago it would have cost $150 more than the regular Stiletto. It has everything the regular Stiletto has and more just as Marilyn stated, this too has the retractable bladder system. This is a GREAT DEAL at this price if you can find your size. It is extremely comfortable and it does not ride up as experienced with other BCD's.
JAMES C I don't fully understand the question - retractable bladder system? This is a back BC and the bladder does expand and contract when filled etc. as you would expect. However, when full it does not expand as much to either side (only a few inches) as you might expect e.g. not like wings.
Hope that helps
Marilyn S In addition to the standard Stiletto features the LTD has: Mesh weight pouches (1 pair), Right hand shoulder dump, Zip Mount Adaptor installed, Harness webbing on shoulder for easy addition and adjustment of D-rings, An articulated shoulder section, and a Hidden roll-out mesh pocket in waist panel. The LTD is on close out so a great price! (May 23, 2013)
Mike Y Hi, I'm looking to purchase the Stiletto LTD and was wondering if anyone could give some advice on sizing. I'm 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, and 32-33 inch waist? Thanks in advance for your time.
WILLIAM B Hi Mike, I am 6'1" 210 pounds and a pretty athletic build with a 34" waist and the Large Stilletto LTD fits me perfect. The waist "cumberbund" is right on the farthest in adjustment and it overlaps perfect for me. I thought I needed the extra size for my upper body. I didn't realize how liberating the back inflate BCD was though. It is like wearing a backpack Great mobility! I probably could wear the next size smaller without any problem as well. I hope this helps.
Mike Y Thanks William. Good info for comparison. I've heard great things about back inflate, can't wait to make the switch. I will be ordering this week, just in time for spring diving. Thanks for the response.
SAMUEL F I am 6'0" and about 185lbs, with a 33" waist I where large in the three BCDs I've had so far and I'm about the middle of the adjustment capabilities. I've owned a Sherwood, Achieve, vest style; Oceanic, Chute III back inflate harness style; and now OMS, Comfort harness II with SS back plate, total tech rig.
Shopper I am torn between this BCD and the Ranger LTD. I like that the Ranger LTD has room for me to grow but the Stiletto is a smaller travel BCD. Also, the Ranger LTD is set up for side mount tanks as well. I would like to try that. Is the Ranger LTD too much for a first BCD?
JACOB S I bought stiletto fo spear fishing. Great range of motion. Ranger is larger and did not fit my needs. Consider what you intend to do under water. Both great bcs
CASEY C It really depends on your type of diving. I would only recommend the Ranger if you plan to do technical diving... e.g., cave diving, wreck penetration diving, cold water diving, etc. If you aren't serious about technical diving, then the Ranger is too much. I'm a divemaster, and I dive a variety of warm(er) water sites. The Stiletto offers everything I need and then some, personally and for teaching. And, it's much more streamlined, light and comfortable BCD than the Ranger... a benefit for travel, yes, but even more so while diving! Hope this helps...
SHANE A I would love to be able to give you a good answer to your question, unfortunately, I only have experience with the Zeagle Stiletto. I live in Chicago and almost all of my diving accompanies travel. I was certified in April of 2012 and since have traveled with my Stiletto BCD to Grand Cayman, Phuket, Mexico, and Bonaire. I love the compact nature of the BCD and have had zero problems with it. It's been a great purchase all around. Unfortunately I just don't have experience with the Ranger LTD and therefore can't give you a comparable analysis between the two.
ROBERT B If you're absolutely going to be doing multiple tank dives in the near future, get the Ranger. If it's just a dream you plan on for the future, get the Stiletto. The Stiletto has everything you will need now and is easier to travel with. The Ranger can be overkill if you aren't using double tanks.
If you do make the jump to multiple tanks, you can always sell your Stiletto to offset the costs of a new Ranger.
MIKE W My dive buddy has the Ranger but the Stileto is all I will ever need since I am going to upgrade my tanks to steel 120s. I had an old basic vest type Sea Quest BC before so the Stiletto was a major upgrade. Unless you plan on doing a lot of techincal diving where you may need side tanks I think you will be very happy with the Stiletto.
NIGEL D This is the same question I had initially. I was looking at purchasing my first BCD. I was torn between the two models. I ended up buying the Ranger LTD as I always think I need all the extras. After a year I realized I have done 80+ dives on the Ranger and realize I wish I had the Stilletto. I never used the extra lift capacity and probably never will and if I wanted to dive side mount then I would probably go for a more tech BC. The main problem with the Ranger LTD is the travelling. However that said I do manage to fit my Ranger, fins, wetsuit, masks, fliashlights and some extras and keep at exactly 50 lbs. But no room for much else. To summarize, the Ranger LTD is not really too much for a first BCD but think hard if you are really gonna use the extras. If not buy the Stilletto if you plan on using it more for travelling, otherwise the Ranger if you just gonna dive locally.
JOHN R Hi, think even the Stilletto is a lot if BC, especially if this is your first BC. I've been diving 15 years and purchased the Stilletto as my main BC a year ago. It's heavy duty and I appreciate diving with less as opposed to more, I recommend it over the Ranger ESPECIALLY if its your first and it'll work for your needs for the rest of your life should you choose.
Shopper Other then the price difference of $140.00ish what are the differences between the Stiletto and the Stiletto LTD?
Donald H Hello,
If you are like me you want to get the best accessory options with your equipment and some room to grow. The LTD has 2 standard add ons I find useful (1) the 20-lb capacity rear mount weight system, I moved them to the upper tank band to adjust my trim.( swim position) I use 14lbs total with a 3mm O'neil Sector wetsuit 10lbs in the ripcord system & 4lbs in those tank pockets.{I see they have some new small shoulder strap trim pockets, I'm planning on breaking that weight up to bring that weight higher on my bc to continue fine tuning my trim}.(2) The Zip Mount Adaptor you can attach numerous other accessories to the BC.It keeps your safety equipment tucked away and your profile streamline but easy to deploy in the event there is an emergency. It also has a better harness setup than the original Stiletto you can add addition D-rings to shoulders or trim pockets if needed.Well by the time you add these two standard features you might as well get the LTD model.
This is my third BC I would recommend it to a beginner as their first one as well as to an advance recreation diver thinking about replacing an old one.
Get Wet & Dive Safe
RICHARD H I know that one of the differences is that the LTD includes the 2 mesh weight pouches that you normally would have to buy separately (and I recommend). There are other differences which I believe include additional dump valve(s), but if you go to the Zeagle website you can see a listing of all the differences.
KEVIN H. K
I bought the ltd for several reasons: It included the mesh weight bags . It also has a narrower waist strap for comfort with a roll out mesh bag built in. Nice feature for collecting shrimp and stuff. My favorite feature is it has 4 dump valves. This feature is great because i hold my speargun with my right hand and it allows me to use my left to dump air. The regular one has only 2 on the right side. It also has two more shoulder strap adjustability points and the shoulders have a articulating feature for more mobility and comfort.. These features aren't available on the regular stiletto. If you don't need These features then it will cost you $46 extra to buy the 2 mesh weight pouches that aren't included with the regular one. You won't be disappointed in the ltd!
KEVIN B The Stilleto LTD has two dump valves at the top where the origional only has one.
JOHN R I think the difference, from what I can tell is the LTD has metal rings, swivel shoulder buckles and a little more padding between you and the tank. Also comes with the yellow weight 'baggies' which I find to be worthless, but I am very happy overall with the BCD.

Whats in the box:BCD, Bx Inflator, Ripcord Weight System, and LP Inflator Hose The new Stiletto LTD incorporates some of the best features of our Ranger LTD and makes Zeagle's premier recreational-travel BC even better. The Stiletto LTD keeps its' 24lb Ripcord weight system and includes a pair of 12lb capacity mesh pouches to make loading and unloading the weight pockets simple. New for this year is the addition of an additional right hand dump valve on its 35lb lift bladder assembly bringing the number of air dump points to four (two on the shoulder, two at the bottom of the bladder). To allow the Stiletto LTD to accept zip-on accessories like the Ranger LTD we have installed our Zip Mount Adaptor on the BC so you can easily customize your LTD however you like. For even more customization we used the same harness type webbing and threading arrangement so the diver can easily add more D-rings and other accessories conveniently on the shoulder. With this durable design you also get Zeagle's time proven durable and rugged BxPower Inflator System. Now you can really rinse out the bladder of your BC. Simply unscrew the Bx Coupler, screw on a standard garden hose, turn the water on and super rinse and clean the inner bladder. Attachment of accessories is made easy with the five stainless steel D-Rings Three on the vest and two more on the shoulders. Durability comfort and fit are three of the Stiletto's strong points. Manufactured from strong reinforced 1000 Denier Nylon, Personal Fit System (PFS) Sizing, Sewn on Lumbar Pad, Adjustable Sternum Strap, and Waist Panels, ensure long life and comfortable diving.
