As a scuba technician, the Zeagle Stiletto BCD stands out for me due to its innovative design and meticulous engineering. Its combination of a lightweight yet rugged structure, coupled with smart weight integration and ample storage options, makes it a technician-friendly choice, allowing for easy maintenance and ensuring that divers can rely on its performance in various underwater conditions.
About Zeagle Stiletto BCD with Ripcord Weight System
The Zeagle Stiletto is a rugged, full featured but light weight BC designed for the diver who may do both warm and temperate water diving and don't need the twin tank capability or higher lift of Zeagle's heavy-duty BC's. The Stiletto's extra durable reinforced 1000-denier nylon fabric with an internal urethane laminate and all seams are radio frequency (RF) welded for long life gives an extra level of protection against abrasion or punctures in close environments like the edge of a coral reef or wreck. With this durable design, you also get Zeagle's time proven durable and rugged Bx Power Inflator System. No more struggling trying to get fresh water in through the inflator mouth piece! Now you can really rinse out the bladder of your BC. Simply unscrew the Bx Coupler, screw on a standard garden hose, turn the water on and super rinse and clean the inner bladder. The Bx inflator comes with a 3/8" threaded quick-disconnect low pressure hose.
The Zeagle Stiletto has sufficient lift and weight capacity for most average sized divers to use in their local environments, yet packs easily into a lightweight travel system. The BCD's back inflator bladder supplies a lift capacity of 35 lbs (15.9kg). BCD includes the Ripcord Weight System that has 24 lbs (10.9kg) of releasable weight capacity and an additional 16 lbs (7.26kg) rear non-releasable trim pockets capacity. Attachment of accessories is made easy with the five-stainless steel D-rings, three on the vest and two more on the shoulders. BCD has two zippered utility pockets for added storage of accessory items.
The Stiletto has a dual position adjustable sternum strap, torso adjustable shoulder straps, and waist strap with adjustable elastic cummerbund all equipped with "squeeze-style" side-release buckles for quick and easy donning and doffing. Trimming buoyancy is made easy with the cable activated shoulder dump valve and rear lower overpressure relief/dump valve. The Stiletto is ideal for the diver who wants a lightweight but rugged system, for both travel and local diving that doesn't compromise on features. The Stiletto weighs 7.4 lbs (3.36kg) and is made in the USA.
