Which Zeagle BC for a big guy?

[Cichlid]

I'm 6'0 245, wondering if any of you guys of similar size have a Zeagle BC? I'm curious what might be the best fit for my body type. Unfortunately, it's not all muscle.

An XL would probably fit pretty good. If you check out the ST BCD page they show the measurement range for each size.

Best thing is to give us a call, or email with waist measurements. The shoulders and waist are 2 different parts, and we can hybrid one to fit. You would probably be large shoulders at that height, but for the waist, you might be a L or XL or even XXL especially if wearing the BC over a bulky drysuit or heavy wetsuit.

Thanks for adding that Larry. I forgot that you can mix and match components on a Zeagle BC.

I'm not really worried about the actual size as much as the style. For example, should my body size be a factor in choosing the Brigade, Ranger, or Stiletto?

Oh... gotcha'... No. That does not matter. The difference is what amount of lift do you want - which might be dependent on the type of diving you are doing, cold, warm, heavy steel tank, aluminum, traveling alot etc.

I like the Brigade as I have the heavy duty harness of the ranger, but it packs easier, and I don't need the additional lift as I'm a recreational single tank diver.

Is that what you were after?

[Cichlid]

My best guess is I'll be single tank Al, warm water (coldest would be San Diego in summer), some travel by plane, maybe once a year.

I have the Zeagle Brigade, and love it!

I weigh 360 and am 6'2. The XXL with the XL shoulders fits me well.

It sure does pack down to nothing... I took it to Oregon with me this summer, and it took up hardly any space at all in my luggage.

I'm 6'1 and about 240, mostly muscle. I went with a Large Ranger.....but I also dive cold water.

Ranger/Brigade should fit the same, only difference apparetly is the actual bladder.
