Zeagle Brigade BCD with front and rear weight pouches
now, and actually own both a Ranger and an Escape. But then again, I
own a dive shop. I prefer the Ranger for most diving as I really like
the heavy duty chest straps, and the metal D rings. My favorite was
really the ranger of a few years ago - which I still dive, as they used
to have a real nice roll down pocket on the right hand side. The
problem I ran into, is the darn bladder was pretty bulky for traveling -
darn thing barely fit in my dive bag - So I also scammed a Zeagle
Escape off our walls. I loved the fact the bladder was lighter, and it
packed up smaller - but I missed my Heavy Duty harness and Metal D
rings, and of course that roll down pocket.
Solution!
Mix the two together in a blender and see what comes out!! I pulled the
Bladder off the Escape, and put it onto my old Ranger - and Presto!! I
had the perfect BC! In fact, I loved it so much, and people diving with
me who saw it or tried it thought it was the greatest thing they’ve
seen..
So I called up Zeagle, and told them what I wanted - and they have
custom made these BCs just for us. Named the Brigade, It carries a
