Brand: Zeagle
Located in: Essential Equipment, Buoyancy Compensators
The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower center of buoyancy compared to men. Conventional buoyancy systems, which would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be worn higher, around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure. The Zena's twin waist and hip band system provides a way for women to securely position the weights and buoyancy below waist level, around the body's center ofbuoyancy. All of Zeagle's buoyancy systems are available with women's sizing options and can be adjusted to provide excellent fit and functionality for womendivers.

The Zena BC has been designed by women as a buoyancy system specifically for women. The twin straps adjust to fit waist and hips independently, while the elastic front panels provide outstanding fit and comfort. Zeagle's patented PFS sizing system allows for the waist size, chest size, and torso length to be independently fitted, positioning the weights low, around the body's center of buoyancy. The Zena BCD has q 34 lb lift capacity bladder, 30 lb capacity RipcordWeight System, Quick Release Buckles on the shoulders and body, and is equipped with the Bx Inflator System.

The Zena zips to close in the front for a snug and secure, yet non-restrictive fit. A ripcord release weight system is standard.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

I am 5 feet 2 inches and weigh about 120 pounds. Given this size, the small size fit the best. Remember, as you descend, your body compresses and you may need to tighten the BC around you. I also wear a full 3mm wetsuit when I dive in 79 degree F waters. The fit tapered to my waist well and I didn't feel like I was swimming in the BC even at 80 feet deep. (NOTE: I had the BC on its smallest position. This will be helpful because if you are smaller than I, this BC may be too big, if you are slightly taller or bigger than I, then it should still fit fine.) There were enough pockets and places on the BC to attached various items. The bigger the BC, the more pockets you may have. I really liked the zipper front because it was easy to secure the BC. The quick release gave me comfort in knowing that I could get out of the BC quickly should I need to and "step out" of the unit. I found the quality to be outstanding. It is very easy to clean with a piece that easily attaches to a hose for an internal clean water rinse. I just purchased this BC and have used it on 12 dives. I am looking forward to doing more dives this year.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

I tried this BC out in a pool and it worked great. It fits very well and is very comfortable, not like what I am used to. It is also light and will be better for traveling. I will be going to Costa Rica in March and I will let you know how it does.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

I've been diving since 2001 and just now purchased my equipment because I wanted the best and also wanted to have time to try many configurations first.

I usually fit pretty snugly in a men's small so I figured a women's medium would fit me nicely. This was NOT the case. Although this is the BEST women's bc in my opinion, make sure you are careful about the sizing. There's nothing worse than "swimming" in your bc while trying to dive.

Also take note that due to the back inflate you will be struggling to stay upright while waiting for your boat (back inflates tend to push your face into the water). In my opinion the improved boyancy underwater more than makes up for it though. :)

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

This is a unique BC. IT fits pretty comfortable, but is a little large on me. I baught a medium, but should fit a small. Unfortunatly I'm 20 lbs over the rating for the small BC. So I'm sticking with the Medium. The back inflate takes a lot of getting used to. I just dove 3 cold water shore dives with my new BC and each time it took me a while to figure out my boyancy. I think in time it will become second nature, but for now the first 5 minutes of the dive are a bit challenging in this BC.

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

I bought my Zena used, wouldn't know it though. The tags were still attached. I used it on our dive vacation, 14 dives and it still looks new. I've been diving for over 20 years and it's absolutely the most comfortable BC I've worn. Put it on, pull the straps, and it conforms to your body. I would definately buy this again!!

Comments about Zeagle Zeagle Zena Women's BC:

I love my Zena. It is the most comfortable BC I have ever worn; it conforms to your body. This BC works best for recreational dives and those done off a boat. It is lacking a backplate which can create lower back pain if it is warn on land with a tank too long (long walks from the truck to shore diving entry points are hard). It began showing wear sooner than all other BCs we have.
