Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Stiletto BCD with the Ripcord Weight System, Black:

30+ years and through teaching have had occasion to dive a wide variety of BCDs. Put on a Stiletto and was stunned at the fit, comfort and performance. I use it in the tropics as well as in 40 degree water in a drysuit. Plenty of adjustment and lift for most anything! No one makes a BCD like this. The hook and loop (Velcro) is atomic strength. The finish is outstanding. Best feature is that they're modular. Take a look at Zeagle's website for fitment and check out the options!

This is my first BC and I can say it was a good decision. You get what you pay for! This is a very strong BC with double tank straps. I have over 50 dives with this BC and it still looks new. This BC makes it very easy to attach knifes, flashlights or whatever you need. The only thing I am not sold on is the weight system. It is out of date but when it come down to it, it works and I dont plan on dropping my weights anyway. I have rented 2 other BC's just to try and I will stick with this one.

I wanted a streamlined BC and the Zeagle Stiletto was exactly what I was looking for. It is sturdy and well made, adjustable to fit most any shape and easy to pack. Based on a review I bought the additional utility pocket and that was wise. I went by the sizing chart and the first BC sent fit until I inserted the lumbar support, which I do recommend, but allow about 3-4 inches if you do. [...]

This is a streamlined version of Ranger BCD . I love it for travel and the 35 lbs of lift is not really a commpromise for how much smaller and lighter it is than my tech . After using Zeagle BCD you probably would never go back to another .

Excellent BC, high quality and durable. I have used the BC on 10 dives, no problem. If you tend to tilt on the surface do not fully inflate to the max and you will fix the problem. Great control and confortable since is back inflate.

I have taken this BCD to Cozumel, Cayman Brac and Roaton for multiple dives during each trip. The loose and comfortable fit of the jacket makes diving both comfortable and effortless. The trim pockets allow for weights to be more adequeately distributed for comfort. The two pockets on the outside of the weight pockets are the perfect size for a small camera. I use the reef master.

I just got back from a dive trip and had a chance to use this BC in many different situations (deep dives, night dives, rec dive etc).

Because the BC was new for me and my first back inflate, there was the expected dial in time for the first few dives. Over all, it’s not a difficult BC to use. Weights are easy to load in the optional weight pouches (highly recommended). Adjustments were all easy to make and overall the BC was comfortable. I had to move all of the weights from the back pockets to the side pockets to prevent me from being flipped on to my back while diving. This is not a problem and speaks to the versatility of the BC. While inflated on the surface back inflate BC's do have a tendancy to put you face down in the watter. However I never felt uncomfortable our out of control, as a mater of fact I liked the way it worked on the surface. It did dig into the back of my neck at times and because it does not have a rolled neoprene neck guard it was uncomfortable at times. This only happened on a couple of dives and was able to adjust this out. I point this out only because many other BC’s I looked at had the neck guard and may be a consideration when purchasing, if complete comfort is a concern. Another area where the lack of padding becomes an issue is just above the hips at the back, where the cumber bun uses plastic grommets to attach to the BC, these plastic grommets rubbed against my wet suite and caused the threading in my wet suite to start to fray, it also caused pilling on the wet suite. There is an optional lumbar support that may fix this, but really, it should be included at this price. This BC is small and lightweight, with features targeted at function not luxury. The lack of padding and neoprene are in an effort to keep the weight and your underwater footprint down. If your looking for an under water sofa you may be disappointed.

Buoyancy control is good. I did have some minor problems dumping air and found myself having to roll to my right to get the air close to the release valve. Again this is typical for most BC’s. My body position in the water was perfect. I was able to maintain almost any position in the water, horizontal, upside down, vertical, inverted. It was a pleasure to dive with this BC and compared to some of the better padded BC’s I have tried this one is a winner.

A very nice BC. Easy to travel with. Compact. Comfortable. Tends to tilt one forward when on the surface and fully inflated, otherwise, a great unit.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Stiletto BCD with the Ripcord Weight System, Black:

I have owned many BC's, all top of the line. This is the best one yet. In the past, I had tried back inflate but experienced difficulty staying upright at the surface. Due to the rear weighting system of the Stiletto, I no longer have that problem. Very Satisfied!

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Stiletto BCD with the Ripcord Weight System, Black:

I bought the Stiletto as my warm water travel BC and couldn't be more pleased. It has the features of my Ranger in a smaller, lighter version. I'm a fan of the weight release system, Zeagle's pockets and D-rings, and the rear trim weight pockets.
