There are many similarities between the Porche Carrera and the Ranger BCD... and the main one is that once you are using it, you know that you are behind a solid and top product. A BCD that has been selling non stop throughout the years. The Zeagle Ranger is an all time best-seller in the diving industry.
For many people out there, a Porche Carrera may be sexy and attractive machine, but for the real automotive lovers, the Carrera is a beast hungry for racing and speed. The same thing happens with the Ranger BCD. If you are purchasing this to have a pretty BCD, don't look here. This is not a pretty BCD, this is a solid product, a serious diving machine, a BCD produced to work in a serious and efficient way. A natural born performance BCD.
The Zeagle Ranger is a robust BCD , very welled built and strong looking. As soon as you jump in the water, you feel a bit like wearing a bullet proof jacket, the amount of rings in key locations make it easy to find place for bottles, reels, slates and cameras. The Ranger also comes with very comfortable side pockets, big enough to store all my gadgets and accesories.
So far so good....
After a few minutes underwater I started to understand why Zeagle is such an iconic diving brand in the US. While I was swiming down , I was concious I was using a classic, and old time favorite of many divers around the world.
The inflation system of the Ranger BCD works with a back wing, making ver confortable avoiding any pressure in the divers chest.
The Pocket weights are easy to remove and to control and during the whole dive I didn't find any action too difficult or aquard to do while wearing this BCD.
The Ranger, is obviously perfect for any sort of divers, from begginer divers looking to experiment with a Back Buoyancy BCD, for experienced divers, this BCD seems to provide enough options in customization to give each diver the right experience.
The inflation speed and the amount of lift the Ranger can take makes it a clear candidate for any demanding tech diver.
After diving with the Ranger, I found myself confused.
The Ranger BCD is the sort of BCD that is not going to make you fall in love with it, but after diving with it, you simply can't understand how you manged to do 1000 dives without it.
This is a BCD that you know, after you see it's strong build, it will outlast you ... and as with any review I always try to find the negative points... but with the Ranger it is difficult. I find that the Ranger is one of those products, that with so much reputation behind it, I'm not really in the position to make any negative comments. The RANGER BCD from Zeagle is what is it: A classic
