I cannot speak for Riptide coz I've no experience with it, but I'd say you won't go wrong with Zeagle. Remember they (Zeagle) come with lifetime warranty! Top notch quality and you can be sure there's someone standing right behind every product they've made

I've never dove with the Zone, but I have owned the Brigade for about two years now.

It has seen Blue Water diving, Lake diving, pool sessions and it has never given me a bit of trouble, ever.

Which one fits you best? That's the one I'd buy!

I would second this, which means that with Zeagle's custom fit options, that the Zeagle will fit you best so you should buy it!!!

J/K One of the reasons I went with the Brigade over the Zone was the size of the bladder..For the kind of diving I do the amount of lift on the Zone was just overkill.
If you were thinking about a Ranger it would probably be a more apple's to apple's comparison. The Brigade is more of a travel BC. With everything I've read about the Zone, I don't think you could really go wrong with either one from a quality standpoint..
Good Luck...

Both hands up with Zeagle Brigade!!

i can't exactly try one on from 1500 miles away so i gues it will have to be the brigade becuase it can be sized very well over the phone

[Zenagirl]

Ahhh, but you can try them both on!! ScubaToys will send you both so you can try and decide. The one you don't like, you pop it back in the box and send it back.

ill think about that
