Noticed the zipper pulls on the weight pockets are red on the new back part that I had swapped to a smaller size. Seems like a lil more padding on the lower back too. No big deal, they were black on the old one...just felt like sharing

The only bad thing about Zeagle???? They last forever, and I have the old, old model of the Zena ... no stainless D rings, no back weight pockets, and my mesh pocket rolls up inside/under the vest panel ...

I did however give in to upgrading my Zeagle Octo + to the new Octo Z ... I just had to have something new!

I think you did well with the Octo Z. Based on passed reporting, there were issues with the Octo +. I have an Octo Z and an Atomic SS1. I really cannot tell the difference betwen the two. Max depth I have had the Z is about 80ft.
FTR, the fittings are identical for the SS1 and the Zeagle.

Had the Octo+ for over 5 years, and never a problem ... so I can't complain. I like the Octo Z because of the garden hose hook-up. It's nice to let the hose do all the work of rinsing the inside of the BCD out ... and it's breathes very nicely as well!

Kat, I wonder if you could add the rear weight pockets? I can't imagine that Zeagle couldn't do an "upgrade" on your old girl. Gotta wonder if they could swap out to the stainless D rings too....

I was really lucky to be able to get mine right after the "new Zena" came out.

Well just so I know I'll have the best fit possible..the kind folks at scubatoys are sending me a front panel 1 size smaller so I can see which fits best. UPS even shows it will deliver on time...before my trip.

THANKS SCUBATOYS
