What model is this Zeagle?

[sammyman]

And roughly how old is it? It says Medium and I am trying to determine if it would work better for my wife or me? She weighs 125lbs, and is 5'6", and I weigh 175lbs and am 6'1". Any help would be great.

Most mediums, are shorter through the torso for a 6'1 length. My 6'1 husband needs an xlarge shoulder section.
However, your wife would fit the medium nicely.
Look at the tag on the shoulder. It is most likely a Ranger, but I can't tell from the tiny tiny picture... Sorry.

The BC shown appears to be an older model "Concept".
I found one in a dive shop that was brand new, still in plastic bag.
I took it on a trip to Roatan last August and the seams all started blowing blew on the 3rd dive.
Not just one seal...... all of them.....dry rotted.
These older BC's don't have replacement seals....they're welded seams
Check it out thoroughly before investing.

Cool thanks. Any idea how long ago they discontinued this model?

I have one of those and I think they discontinued it around the turn of the century (HA! I've been waiting to say that). Mine is about 16 years old and recently had to replace the inner bladder because the seam along the inflation hose failed.

Zeagle has a lifetime warranty on their BC's but they only apply the original owner.

Wow, I have a Zeagle Concept that I purchased in 1997. It has several hundred dives on it and it has little fading and I have not had any problems with bladder integrity. It has a double bladder construction and is therefore replaceable, provided that Zeagle still has these available. The unit pictured appears a wee bit older than the one I own.

I'm 5' 5 and weight 125-130lbs and it fits me fine with my 7mm wetsuit. W/o my wetsuit, I do have to cinch it close to max adjustment. Hope this helps.

It looks like the same Zeagle Concept I have .... check this thread for some bladder issues as noted elsewhere in this thread:

Shouldn't it be covered under their 'lifetime' warranty??......I'd give Zeagle a call, they usually stand behind their products pretty well-----& a lifetime is a looooong time, usually....lol....

As mentioned it is a Zeagle Concept. They quit making that bladder style 10+ years ago.

As for sizing. I am 6'0" and 165lbs and wear a medium Zeagle. My wife is similar to your wife but 2" shorter and she has a Zeagle Comcept II that is a small. Based on that it would probably fit you better.

Zeagle can still replace that bladder. I replaced mine a few months ago.

They also have interchangeable sections, the shoulder straps can be large while the cummerbund can be small.
You would have to try the BC on and see if it fits you properly. I'm 5'10" 200lbs and my BC is med/med and fits fine.
