Do you have a link to the Zeagle bags?
I'm not really in the market for more SMBs, just like to know what's available.

HenrikBP, I generally hate the Halcyon bags but that 3.8 looks promissing. I may try that. Cut off the velcro strap and create your own bungee loop. I have done that in the past. Does the Zeagle take a bunch of tension to keep it up or is it low lift?

Reg inflate is far less entanglement prone than inflator because you can hold it out from your body. With the inflator fills, you are forced to pull the line in close to you. I don't know the officially taught method anymore, but I just put a drab of air in the bag to hold it up, unspool a little line and hold the spool and bag in my left hand and inflate with the reg in my right. This way, I pull the reg out of the way before releasing the bag.

RTodd; I forgot to ask. Why don't you like Halcyon bags?
Thanks,
Henrik
There is nothing wrong with the halcyon bags, I just prefer open bottom and traditionally Halcyon stuff has been inflator hose fill.
Also, I have a Carter 35 pound Personal Float, 60 inches tall and 5 inches wide, and it has a volume of 0.5 ft3. It doesn't take much to inflate at depth ...
Thanks for the clarification. I tried one of the little 3.3' Halcyon closed circuit last weekend. I could oral inflate via the "inflator" valve, and given the small size it was very easy to control. Great for help with controlling stop depth on ascent - but probably a bit small if you want/need to be seen
Which of these bags do you have:
Personal Floats Safety Sausage Tubes
In the table I don't see any 60" floats - maybe just a typo on the site?
Thanks,
Henrik
