If you can find a BC that works otherwise and has room on a waist strap, add pockets to the waist strap. That’s sometimes easier to reach than built in pockets anyway. I use the Zeagle utility pockets, I used to think they were too big but love then now. I tie them to something on the BC with a bit of bungie so they can’t fall off.
That's what I do on the Zeagle Scout I have - two extra pocket on the waist strap but it's just not good enough.
Also a little cooled off on Zeagle after my enquiry on sizes for my current Scout i bought in Bali was "seems you are right in between the sizes for this BCD.Did you happen to try on the next size up when you purchased your BC?"
It's not like I have an LDS with a Zeagle collection here in Bali or Phuket...
Then, as I was trying to modify things (shoulder strap extensions):
"I definitely would not encourage modifying this Scout but would suggest the proper size BC.
Sorry…"
For a brand, handled by Huish Outdoors that has virtually no reliable distributors in SE Asia where I'm working most of the time, unlike Scubapro or Aqualung (Aquamasters, Dive Supply...) - I even tried closer to home in Mexico (Baja California Sur), to no avail. So not my next purchase I think
thanks again!
