Questions about this item:
Donna G I am very interested in a light weight BC made for women Explain this product's weight system. Are there clip in weight pouches or fold up pockets? If so, are the pockets velcro or clipped? Does it have two tank straps? I there would be a back view of this BC.
MIKE D Donna G.,
The weight system have have the slide in pockets with velcro flaps. There are two tank straps.
I do have to say that this is a fantastic BC. I purchased it for my business partner. She loves it. She is Master Scuba Diver rated with about 200 dives. This BC is easy to get in and out of. It is very configurable and fits her quite well. It's the first BC I've seen that is made well for a woman.

DIANE E This BC has a nice snug fit. I really like the front zipper. The weights fit in zippered pockets one on each side of the tank in the back. The weights are loose in the pockets, and I divide weight evenly with each pocket. The weights have enough room in each pocket put do not slip loosely around. There is a red handle at the bottom of each weight pocket to pull for an emergency dumping of the weights. It does have two tank straps. My tank is always secure, tight and stays in place. I love the integrated weights and feel free diving in this BC not having the cumbersome weight belt on my waist.
KEVIN S Zeagle has pouches (called "yellow thingies") that you can put either soft or hard weights into. The Yellow thingies go into zip pockets on the BC.
Both of my daughters have Zenas. One has had hers for 2 years and the other for a little over a year. Neither would go back to any other type of BC.
I was so impressed with Zeagle that I bought a Brigade for myself. All 3 BCs have dual tank straps.
JULIE P Two tank straps. Weight pockets zip up, just drop in weights. Has a ripcord if you need to DC weights. Has 2 trim pocets in back. Best BC Iv'e ever had. i highly reccomend it.
Shopper Can this bcd bladder be changed out if you more lift or wanted the ability to carry doubles?
DIANE E I love this BCD but I have never changed out the bladder on this.
MIKE D I really can't give you a definitive yes on this. I purchased this as a gift for a very dear friend of mine. Having said that, I have the Zeagle Ranger and the answer to that BC is yes. Knowing Zeagle, I would suspect that you could do that to their entire line.
I will say that the Zena is a spectacular BC. It looks like is was custom fit for her. It's very "sexy" looking and easy to adjust to fit with all the straps.
JULIE P Don't think so, but check with Zeagle to be sure.
J W W Mine has been modified to carry a back tank plus two side ponys (30's). We attached the d-rings center behind the first pocket on each side and top of area where you might normally put a trim weight. Its a great Bc. Mine is almost two years old and still looks like new, 180 dives on it so far without repairs. I have never tried to change the bladder. I do know from an instructor it cannot be modified to carry side mounts only because of the back plate that is needed for side mounting. Happy Diving!
Loli C Hello, how much does this BCD weight? thanks.
PATTY F maybe 5 lbs.?!?!?!? Not heavy at all though!!! This is the best BCD ever for a woman!!! BEST!!!!
MICHAEL B Depends. Stated weight is 6.2 lbs. but with integrated weights you have to add that amount. Also, some of the attached pockets can be removed so it will then weight slightly less. Wife loves it, says it's very comfortable and fitting for a woman.
CASSANDRA S Its just slightly over 6lbs. Much lighter than most BCs.
Loli C Thanks Cassandra. Would this be the lightest/most compact one that you would recommend? Or is there another to compare with?
CASSANDRA S Hi Loli, I am not sure what type of diving you are looking to do with this BC. But its very easy to travel with, its fairly compact for an everday BC. There are travel BCs intended just for going on tropical vacations. I would recommend this BC for warm water and cooler diving. It has room to add pockets and accessories or just use it as is. I prefer back inflated BCs and this one is compact with no feeling of squeeze. The material in its design is compact but fairly soft. This is the only ladies BC I have ever owned. I would recommend looking at the Seaquest Pearl and Scubapro LadyHawk too. There are many great BCs, read and take into account others' reviews, and think about your "must have" list. For example if you are looking for lots of pockets the Zena would not be the option for you. I chose to purchase this product because of the options to add or subtract from this BC, the ease of traveling, and the great reviews of Zeagle.
Shopper I have this BC and love it, but need to add a backplate or something to add support. Is there a backplate that is compatible with it?
LeisurePro S Traditional steel or aluminum backplates usually aren't compatible with most BCD jackets, but if you are just looking to add a little extra support and not double tanks or anything, then check out Zeagle's Lumbar Pad.
Shopper Just curious if this is all black or does it come in a color (and which ones), thanks!
LeisurePro S This BC is only available in all black at this time.

Whats in the box:BCD, Bx Inflator, LP Quick Disconnect Hose 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. DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink BCD sold $100 will be donated to fight breast cancer.
