Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

A great BC, I've been using mine for several years
It is very comfortable, regardless of tank/tanks configuration and in the water you hardly know it's there. very robust construction.if I want to be very pickie, the only downside is it is pretty heavy so excess bagage can be a issue traveling.

Great product and very comfortable. Easy to operate, but I wish there was an air dump on the right shoulder (the 2009 model does).

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

It worked exactly like I expected and hoped. I was carrying 95 lbs of tank and lead and it was fairly comfortable on the treck to the water. It had pleantly of floatation unlike my last BC.
The back bladder did not squeeze like my old jacket style BC. If I had known about the jacket squeeze before I never would have purchased a jacket style BC. I had no problem with floating vertical in the water with the trim weights.
It was very easy to clean with the hose connection.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

This is the first back inflation I've had. I got used to it quickly. Once I got the distro right with the trim weights, really easy to adjust attitude submerged. While it takes a little more effort than a jacket on the surface, I don't spend much time bobbing around there. Super well made product. Very adjustable. I also purchased the zip-on additional pockets, which are handy for things like a spare light, though I couldn't get them from Leisure Pro. If you are looking for a BC that is light and compact for travel, this isn't it. I don't care about that. This BC is perfect for me.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

I've been diving since 1976. I've owned lots of BC's, but I've never been able to "splurge" and buy a Zeagle Ranger. I finally decided to bite-the-bullet awhile back, and now I'm sorry for all of the money/time I wasted with inferior products. This is the best-designed, best-built, best-made BC I have ever seen, and DEFINITELY the best I've ever owned.

On top of everything else, the folks at Zeagle have made this BC very "customizable". The additional "zip-in's" you can add make this already flexible BC infinitely tuneable to your size, style, preference.

IMHO -- you will NEVER regret buying this BC, and it will be the last one you ever have to buy (it will outlive you)!!!

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

The best BCD I have ever used... It doesn't quite push my face in the water like I thought it was going to do when on the surface. Fits well to my body as well. Also it can go and do anything you want it for like Dry suit, Tropical, etc...

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

Adjusts very easy. I used in Belize with no wetsuit and it was very comfortable and the straps were easy to adjust even after it was on.
I don't know if I really like the weight dump system but hopefully I never find out.

Amazing BC. Acessories are endless. Dual tank capability. Very comfortable and adjustable. Will put a dent in the budget, but you won't regret it. Been to the Keys and most of the springs in Florida, from 20 feet to 120 feet with it, works everytime.

I use this BC as my main one. I live in Pa. which most of my diving takes place, I guess some would say cold water. I love this BC. This is the most comfortable BC I have ever worn and with the tank weight pouches it hold me perfectly balanced in and on the water. It's very expandable and you can add the features that you want.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

This is an outstanding BCD. The only problem I have found is when you are on a dive boat the back flotation is a little bulky. The tanks needs to lean forward, but this is normal for most back flotation type BCD’s. It is well crafted with durable martial and has lasted through my abuse for the last two years.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

Zeagle is without a doubt the best equipment made. It is constructed out of the strongest material avalible and you can tell the craftsmanship when you look at and hold them.
Some people do not like the rip cord system, but I say that it is not there as a toy, it is there to be easy to pull and save your butt. If anything the only hard part, and it's not, is reloading the rip system if you pull it. It only takes about a minute or two at the most to achieve this feat. Zeagle owner for life. Just bought my girlfriend the Zena and she loves it!

One Great BC
By Scuba4meVerified Reviewer from Germantown, Tennessee on 5/11/2007
Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Easily Adjustable, Lots Of Features, Quality Components
Best Uses:
Cold Water, Extreme Depths, Professional, Recreation, Spearfishing, Warm Water
Describe Yourself:
Divemaster
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

This is one well made BC. Mine is over three years old; I purchased it after seeing my son’s. The Quality of the materials and the workmanship on the stitching is perfect. The only addition to the BC is the Scuba Pro Air 2. As a spearfisher, I appreciate the stainless steel D rings and the freedom you have to move around in the arms. The weight system makes trimming buoyancy a breeze. If this one ever wears out, I’ll just buy a new one. One day your BC may need to save your life, I have the confidence that this one would do just that.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD with Ripcord System, 2008:

I love this BC. I've had it for almost 2 years and used it on almost 100 dives. What I like the most is the fit, it's not bulky like a lot of the vest type BCs, really frees up your arms! It also has tank pockets for tank weights which I use to distribute at least a portion of my weight and it's integrated as well, which is awesome, weight belts are irritating.
