Seems like it quietly disappeared although the zippered Zena stayed

A great, light BC which was very comfortable and with all the whistles and perfect except for the zipper which was a pain.
Would have been great to eliminate the zipper and make it an overlying velcro strip in the middle with three small buckles.
One at the top, one middle and one in the lower aspect of the pad.
Easy to pack removing the front panel.
Seems like it went away and never to be seen again...................................

Seems like reconfiguring the front pad and leaving everything else the same would have made an excellent BC

It was a poor selling BC, despite our hopes that a male Zena would take off in popularity like it's sister model which has been around since early 2000. Sadly what worked well with the Zena didn't work out with most male figures. Men carry a lot of girth in the belly region which made the Zeus fit uncomfortably and improperly for those folks, plus selling folks on the zipper front panel idea was not near as easy as it was/is with the Zena BC. Ultimately it got the axe when times got tough and we focused on the BCs that people were asking for.
 
Loved it.......................except for the zipper. Not easy hooking up that zipper in rough seas!!!!!
