Zeagle Ranger help!

[RonFrank]

ScubaToys will.

I don't know what motivation a DS has in arguing with customers who are standing there wanting a BCD that fits, and willing to purchase. Maybe they pay more if they order low volume, or maybe she wants to move the product she has.. in either case, that IMO is NOT putting the customer's needs where they belong.

The Ranger (and other Zeagle BCD's that I've tried on) are VERY flexible.

If you have NOT been able to get the LDS to order the right sized BCD, and even take it to the next step, swap shoulder straps if needed, then call Larry at ScubaToys.

I'm VERY positive that he will get it right for you with a minimal of hassle.

If I had to buy new, I'd likley go with the Brigade or Stilleto as they are Ranger like in construction with a smaller bladder that would make travel and storage a bit easier.

Good Luck,
Ron

Thanks for the help. When I tried on the XL, the cummerbund overlapped almost its full length. The waist strap only had about an inch or so worth of space left to tighten it more, so if I lost any weight, it'd be too big. The shoulder straps were tightened ALL the way down and still were loose. She said “oh, the shoulder straps are supposed to be loose, but you could use LG shoulder straps with the XL BC.”

They didn’t have a large in to try. I went back later and almost got in a yelling match with the lady but she finally said ok, she’d order the large for me. I keep wondering if there is some sort of motivation behind this. Do they make more in profit if they sell the XL or 2XL vs. the smaller sizes? I don’t know. I went on Zeagles’ website and I fall almost exactly in the middle of the large specs. But go figure. In fact, the XL would be anywhere from 4" to 7" too long for my torso.
