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

I did a lot of research on BCs and decided to buy the Stiletto because of its mudular design. I am 6'8" and 215 pounds. I purchased the large originally from LeisurePro (my back measurement came in at exactly the break-off point between the large and extra-large should module on the Zeagle website). The large waist/chest module was perfect for me, but the shoulder module was too short. I contacted Zeagle and they recommended I move up to the XL shoulder.

I contacted LeisurePro customer service about getting only a shoulder module, but nobody ever responded. At Zeagle's recommendation I purchased a new XL shoulder module from another dealer for $65. After combining the large waist and XL shoulder, I went diving with it for the first time last weekend (warm water in the Carribean).

It was amazing. My buoyancy improved significantly, whereas before I always felt unstable with the rental gear because it never fit right. The BC feels sturdy and well-made and I did not have any problems feeling like I was going to be pushed forward on my face at the surface.

I am very pleased with the BC and would whole-heatedly recommend it, especially for people who are not "average" size.

I am coming back to write this review after 53 dives in 6 weeks in this BC (with mostly rocky shore dives and only about 6 boat dives). The dives included weaving in and out of tight passages, getting tossed around on rocks by waves while entering/exiting water, hauling a heavy camera rig, etc. This BC delivers! Judging by the lack of wear, I can imagine this BC lasting hundreds of more dives without breaking a sweat.

This BC is comfortable relatively light given its solid hardware. However, my only complaint is that there are no pockets to store anything. The pockets are directly over the weight pockets, and with only a 2kg weight block per side I already feel there isn't much room left for the accessory pockets. I end up just putting a pair of scissors and a pair of thin gloves.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this BC and Zeagle in general. It may not have all the fancy features, but if you want a BC that can last a long time and does what it supposed to do very well, this is it. I also purchased the Zeagle Wicked Lite for travels and had around 20 dives in it. It's also a rock solid travel BC.

I have used the Zeagle Stiletto for a couple of years now. I liked it so much that I bought one for my son who just got his OW certification.

Durable, well built. Love the ripcord weight system (don't worry - you can remove weight without pulling the ripcord). Added the Zeagel SMB which tucks up under the flap next to the wing very nicely.

I just tried out the bcd this morning in the waters of Cozumel and it was great. My previous bcd had a wrap around air cell. When I got to the surface it squeezed me to the point that I couldnt breath properly. The Zeagle eliminated that problem. I put 10 lbs. in the front pockets; 5 lbs on each side. I put 4 lbs in the rear pockets; 2 lbs on each side. This weight arrangement kept me straight up on the surface. BCD did not take much air to inflate and keep me on surface. Another plus is that the bcd is light. its not a superlight weight like the Zuma but better that your standard bcd. Its a little expensive but worth the money. Made in the USA.
