Brigade + backpad =
The perfect BCD, for me anyway...
I installed my new backpad as soon as I got home today, tried the Brigade on, and it was like a totally new BCD. The fit was just so much better!!  The length and chest of the large was perfect, but the waste was still just a little loose even fully snugged..Now it's perfect!! Plus the support and comfort on the back is very, very nice.. I can't wait to dive it Saturday, I couldn't have imagined being happier with my Brigade, but now I am..This got me to thinking, if Larry took a Brigade and added These http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...weightpocket18 These http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...rweightpockets And this http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...eagleLumbarPad He could call it a Brigade LTD. and would have the perfect recreational BCD!! May move more accessories that way, at least we do in the car business when we dress up the showroom model a little bit..

creggur, I know the feeling as I have had one for years. As have said it is liek having a lazy boy on your back.
I am waiting on my discount to get the new bladder for my Ranger then I wil be with you. Do you use the rear weight pockets? I could see no reason to trim the back.

Haven't put any in there yet, however I've only dived in fresh water springs.. I'm keeping them on to see if I need to distribute the extra lead for salt water...

i tossed 2 lbs in each when i used a AL80, using 22lbs total.....but when i use a hp steel tank, it's really not needed (in fresh water). I was only using 14lbs with the steel (in a 7mm one piece wetsuit), and i think that extra weight tended to put me more vertical. I'm not sure i'll get much use out of them, i think they are coming off when i go to the tropics. but anyway, the backpad is nice, and creggur, i believe you can adjust the cummerbund in the grommets. |
