I have the black one. It 's a great BC for the price comfortable back pad. Pleny of d-rings love the key pocket in cumberbun. Only down side I can find is pockets are used for weights but I dont carry any thing and that problem is easily solved. Back inflate wraps tank to stay out of way. You won't find a better BC for price.

The only complaint I've heard from people on those BC's is after getting out of the water, they are a bit heavier than some others, the padding takes on a bit of water - but it dries out pretty quick. But very sweet BC for the money. Very popular with our customers that come in and "touch and feel" to compare BC's and price.
And Airhog. Welcome to the board! |

Yea, they run a bit big... The large would probably be perfect. Give a shout to the shop with waist, weight, height, and we'll have which ever guy is closes try one on... but actually, I'm probably the closest. A bit taller, 6'4 and about 220. Is all your weight in pure muscle?? 'Cause mine ain't.

I considered the Zone, because it seemed like a great deal, and I couldn't find anything but positive comments in my research... I think the thing that swayed me to the Brigade was the size of the bladder...Just didn't need that much lift...
Nice looking BC though!! Good luck with your purchase..
