Travel BC ? scout-stihletto

[NorthernShrinkage]

Looking to buy a new Lightweight travel BC as my zeagle tech is a little bit much for travel my OMS rig isnt an option and my avid is still a little bit much . Kind of leaning towards the Zeagle the scout is a bare bones unit but cant seem to find it at scubatoys lp etc is there much diffrence between the scout and the Stihletto . Or does anyone have any recommendations must be back inflation and lightweight.

Scubatoys will order it for you. I have a Stiletto but the Scout is smaller. All the weight goes into rear weight pouches on the Scout.

I have a Stiletto and I am very satisfy with it.

I fold neatly into a suitcase for travelling and does the job while diving.

I bought mine for a couple of reasons ... since I'm a photographer, I wanted back inflation and rear weight pockets.

And my LDS pointed that most of the parts can be bought seperatly !!

I may be mistaken but I think the Scout was discontinued a couple of years ago. Pity, it's a really nice little BC. I dive one most all of the time. One of the lighter Zeagles should do.

It's prominently displayed on their web site.

Just because it's on the website doesn't mean it's available. The Escape is on the website and as a dealer I just found out this past Monday (12/11/06) that they are not making that BC anymore.

I remember when they discontinued the scout; I don't know if it's currently available. I always liked for what it does not have; specifically a padded cummerbund. If you can get just a standard 2" webbing waist belt, you can use a variety of pockets for weight as needed, as well as tank weights for trim.

Does this mean my old "Scout" is vintage?

I can suggest the XS Scuba Companion BC. Weighs just over 5 lbs; back inflation with 30 lbs of lift; very attractive price. If you cant find a local dealer, try the XS Scuba website for a list of dealers or try Scuba.com.
