I have been looking at the Ranger BC for my next BC. I tried an LTD but have not been able to figure out the difference between the two. I know the LTD has more weight capacity in the back pockets but other than that what is the difference?

Thanks for any info...
 
The LTD includes the zip-on accessory system so you can add their Zip-Mount optional accessories. It's simply 1/2 of the zipper sewn into the underside of each side of the wing near your body. I have one and the Accessory pockets - I carry a soft skirt mask in one so it's protected by the wing..

The front pockets on a Ranger are harder to access with a tank on when standing - the weight pulls them taut so they're better for small things, I carry a light and defog in mine.

You can also add it to a regular Ranger with their adaptor kit.

LTD also has a top right pull dump which I don't think is included on the standard Ranger.

I think there's also more d-rings included. And maybe the lumbar pad is included instead of optional? Although my buddy has one on his Ranger and doesn't recall paying extra for it.
