What size Zeagle Brigade?

[sergeantnic]

I was wondering if anybody is diving the Zeagle Bridage and what size they may be wearing comparative to my weight.

I'm 5'11", 180 lbs. My waist is 36" but seems to be expanding!! Just got out of the military.

Scubatoys says a medium for waist 33 - 41" and also lists a large for waist 37 - 45".


I just don't want to get a medium and then be up crap creek in a year when I gain 20 lbs.

Any input is appreciated.

They tend to run pretty large. I'm 6'4, 250, 40" waist and I could fit into an L. I have an XL, but there's plenty of (hopefully unneeded) room to grow. Tell Larry your dimensions and concerns and get whatever he suggests. He knows his business.

5' 11", 170lbs, 33in waist and the Medium Brigade fits me with plenty of room to spare, should I expand in the coming years...

6'3", 170, 32" waist and I bought a small. I could have gone with a medium shoulder since the strap is all the way out but it fits fine.
For a 36" waist I think I would go with the medium. You won't out grow it till you hit the 41" waist. If you are figuring on getting that much bigger in the waist then you might want to call 1-800-jenny craig.

Wally - you are 6'3" and a SM fits you?? Even in the shoulders?????

I am 6'3", 36 waist, 230lbs and a LG fits me fine. I have the waist panel moved out one step, into the middle position. Keep in mind that once you get a suit on, you will be a little larger!!!!

It is better to get the largest size that will fit you. It keeps the ripcord towards the front of the BC and not moved too far back...

Larry knows his stuff, so if you give him a call I am confident that he will get you squared away!!!

I'm 6'1", 185, 32" waist. I wear a large in the waist section, medium in the shoulders. I could probably get by with medium all the way around, but I wanted a little extra room for when I wear a 7mm farmer john. The large waist section fits me in this as well as a 3mm one piece.

Scott,

Are you in Zephyrhills? I talked to Larry and he suggested making a hybrid with a large waist and medium straps so that's what I'm going to do. Just waiting for him to get me the final price with shipping. Seems like a really good guy to do business with.

Yep. A small fits me nicely. Keep in mind that I am a bean pole.
If I was to have guessed at a size I would have said medium maybe a large for me. As mentioned before the shoulder straps are all the way out. I don't think the length is an issue since the cumberbun is about half way over my belly button.

Not sure what my shoulder measurement is but I know my chest is 46". I don't have to use the chest strap and have plenty of movement.

Even with the waist panel all the way in I had plenty of room. I did move it out one spot so it was easier for me to get my arms through the hole. Maybe if I had the medium I wouldn't have had that minor issue?

I'm 6'2", 210# with a 38" waist, and pretty good shoulders. The large was recommended by Larry at Scuba Toys and it fits me correctly.
