Hi,
I have an older Zeagle BC that really seems to fit well, but when I'm in the water, especially on the surface, it rides up on my body (doesn't stay put).

Is there a way to modify it with some sort of crotch strap or something to keep it in place?

At first I thought it was just too big, but it isn't, just won't "stay" :)

Thanks,
Paul
 
Does it have a buckle located on the center, bottom edge of the rear of the BC and 2 grommet holes on the frount lower edge ? If so, the one for the Ranger will most likely work.
 
I made a crotch strap out of a single piece of 1-inch webbing and three buckles. I folded it in the middle, and worked one of the buckles (just a plastic slider thingy, don't know how to describe it--kind of like a D-ring keeper, two slots?) up so that I could thread the waistband web through it.

Then I ran the two ends under my crotch and around to small D-rings on the bottom sides of the BC and looped them through a slider. Cut off excess leaving enough for adjustment and melted the edges. Works great! Cost a couple bucks.

Dont' know if that will work for the Zeagle. Should if there are any D-rings on the bottom of it.
