I love this BC. It was on backorder for so long I almost gave up on it. Glad I didn't. Make sure it's on tight!

Best BCD Available

The Zeagle Ranger is among the best BCDs on the market, hands down. I have over 1,000 dives on mine and recently purchased another one for my 13 year old son. It is incredibly well made and has all of the features you would expect on a high end BCD. It is flexible enough for TEC Diving configurations, rugged enough for Atlantic Wreck Diving and reliable enough to bring to Africa, the Azores and Antarctica. I had it serviced last year and the company did a superb job - all under the lifetime warranty. The Zeagle Ranger is a classic design for a reason. This is the kind of quality worth paying for.

Great BCD

I would never sacrifice quality. This is a quality BC. I mainly solo dive and at depth. It has enough rings for me to be able to clip on two of everything, plus my pony tank. I am very happy with this purchase. I write all reviews after I have used the product for at least a year or two. I have about 60 dives on this BC.

Zeagle Ranger (red)

Overall I like this BCD. Would be nice if removeable pockets came with the BCD. Also a separate shoulder dump would nice on the right shoulder. I know it is redundant but I like to use the right shoulder dump when descending vertically.

Good BC. Logts lof clips to hang extra gear from. I wsih it had the fourth relief valve on the righ shoulder, though not necessary wiht the two on the bottom and the one activated by pulling on the manual inflate connector.

Great BCD! (Check your size on Zeagle website)

After diving with a very inexpensive, jacket-style BCD for the past 8 years, the Ranger is an absolute pleasure. Very comfortable and locking in good trim is a breeze. I thought I was going to have a difficult time transitioning to a wing, but with weight in the trim pockets, time at the surface is stable and then trim at depth is precise. The loss of the air bladder under the arms is much more streamlined and allows for more freedom of movement than a jacket. The only recommendation is to measure yourself based on the criteria on Zeagle's website. I used Leisure Pro and originally ordered a large. It was way too big and after using Zeagle's criteria, I was clearly a medium. However, in true Leisure Pro fashion, exchanging the BCD for the correct size was very easy.

Top of the line

I have been diving for over 25 years and this BCD has to be in the top 5 I have ever used. It is totally reconfigurable for different set-ups. Very comfortable, plenty of attachment points and weight/storage compartments. I would highly recommend this product for any advanced diver.

Great BCD but...?

The product seems to work quite well but two things bothered us from the start. 1) - The rip cord systems had not been put together at all and... 2) - Since the expected User manual did not set sent with the product we had to spend 30 minutes on a ling distance call from Costa Rica to get it setup and finally get the link to an online manual. (And - NO - 800 numbers are NOT FREE from Central America)

I would recommend and buy again

I was told that as a beginner I would't like the rear bladder design because it would not float upright on the surface, but this BCD is easy to adjust. I did not have any trouble. Also, easy to adjust to fit.

Could not be happier

Just Solid ... I was debating between the Stiletto and Ranger. Glad I went with the Ranger. I worried about additional bulk for travel but it is negligible. In addition it gives more options that the stiletto. Great purchase. Zeagle puts out a quality product. Only down size was that I think the yellow wieght bags should be included. Add another $40 to purchase these.

Incredible BCD. I used quite a few before buying this one. Back inflatable is the way to go. The Zeagle Ranger is cut very full and has multiple D rings to attach gear to. Easy to make adjustments. Buy the crotch strap to keep it in place when doing more technical dives.

Bubbles!

I took this BCD out for 20 dives on my last excoursion and it performed very well, my only complaint is how bubble seem to get trapped in the inflator hose, and where the 2 bladders connect behind your neck. The first few dives i was having some bouyancy issues because i didnt realize that my BC wasnt completely empty. Overall, very good BCD. wouldnt trade it for anything.

Worth every penny!

Can't ask for a better ready to go BC! I've been diving with my Ranger for about 7 years and it's in my opinion the most well rounded BC out there. I'm a decent sized guy and the fit and function of the Ranger are top notch. The only drawback it has, is it's tendency to push you forward on the surface but that is common with all of the back inflating BCs. As a divemaster, dealing with students, you tend to get up close and personal when trying to adjust the student's gear or demonstrating a skill but below the surface, the Ranger keeps the diver on a nice level plan. I lean back and rest on the bladder on the surface. This keeps me from bumping masks with the students and gives that laid-back look!

By John C.

I would never sacrifice quality. This is a quality BC. I mainly solo dive and at depth. It has enough rings for me to be able to clip on two of everything, plus my pony tank. I am very happy with this purchase. I write all reviews after I have used the product for at least a year or two. I have about 60 dives on this BC.

If you are a diver who wants a rugged recreational buoyancy system, but also want one that can adapt and change to meet different diving needs, the Ranger is a system you won't outgrow. It's been at the "top of the charts" for many years. The Ranger was the first BC to combine high quality heavy duty construction, weight integration, and rear flotation. Its introduction created a new category of buoyancy systems, and it is without doubt the most imitated BC in history! But it's the Rangers incredible versatility that keeps knowledgeable divers recommending it year after year.

Zeagle's modular construction allows the Ranger to transition between tropical travel diving, rugged cold water diving in wet or dry suits, single or twin cylinders, and even with optional bladder assemblies having up to 2 x 85 lbs (38.6kg) lift and easily mounted back-plates technical diving! Constructed of heavily reinforced 1050 denier ballistic nylon, with urethane internal lamination and radio frequency (RF) welded seams for strength and durability the Ranger is comfortable, balanced, and can be used in an incredible range of diving activities. It is compatible with a variety of additional bladders, pockets, and other accessories. The waist closure is a single buckle combined with elastic waist panels. The standard bladder has a 44 lbs (20kg) lift capacity.

The Ranger comes equipped with Zeagle's PFS Modular Sizing (Personal Fit System) allowing you to custom build the BCD for individual needs. Other features of the BCD are 11" (28 cm) grommets for mounting twin cylinders, two zippered utility pockets for storage of gloves, reels, lights etc. adjustable elastic waist panels,4 stainless angled D-rings on shoulders (two adjustable), and 2 Stainless D-rings on vest for accessory attachments. The BCD includes the Ripcord Weight System that has 36 lbs (16.33kg) of releasable weight capacity and an additional 16 lbs (7.26kg) rear non-releasable trim pockets capacity. The Ranger has a dual position adjustable sternum strap, torso adjustable shoulder straps, and waist strap with adjustable elastic cummerbund all equipped with squeeze-style" side-release buckles for quick and easy donning and doffing.

Trimming buoyancy is made easy with the cable activated shoulder dump valve and rear lower overpressure relief/dump valve. The Ranger weighs 8.4 lbs (3.8kg). The Ranger BC comes standard with Zeagle's BX Power Inflator System with 3/8" threaded quick-disconnect low pressure hose. The BX Power Inflator makes preventative maintenance easy with its threaded lower mechanism that allows the attachment of a garden hose for fast and easy inner bladder rinsing. BCD is proudly made in the USA.
