Questions on Zeagle Brigade. - Scuba Forum

I tried to find the answers on my own about this BCD especially in the zeagle website.

According to here the Zeagle Brigade is a ranger harness and a smaller bladder. Is that mean the accessories from a ranger can go on the Zeagle Brigade like a ranger wing, backplate, running doubles is possible? Or basically it is almost like a stilleto? Thanks.

Your first assumption was correct... that's the beauty of it. It is a ranger - just with a smaller bladder for traveling easier. So add any ranger accessories you want, you can even swap out bladders later, run twins, etc. But with a stiletto... what you got is what you got.

And btw, if you're considering buying one, it is an awesome BCD, I absolutely love it. It is tough & very versatile, tons of attachment points & very comfortable. I highly recommend it...

Thanks

When you're on a limited budget, it's a good idea to just go ahead and buy the best so you don't have to buy another later

Osprey is holding out on getting one until she sees mine. Thanks for the input earlier!

The Zeagle Brigade is great. One caveat; go ahead and purchase the yellow weight pocket thingies. Your trim will be much better, because weights have a tendency to shift without them. Also, it is easier to hand off the weights when getting back on the boat. The ripcord system is probably the safest system for ditching weights.

Hey guys,

While we're on the topic, do you find it's easier with the rear weight pouches on the Brigade to balance things out? Or are they a waste of $40?
