Using a weight belt with any Zeagle BCD is like going off-road rally with your brand new luxury car!
I can't agree. Distributing weight between BCD and a weight belt helps you to take weight overload away from your spine.

I dive with the zeagle tech and I have 20 pounds integrated. Granted I am just a new diver but for now it is working for me.

I just got a Zena (LOVE IT!!) and for the first dive I used a weight belt --no problem. I couldnt wait long enought to get the bags, so off I went. Best investment I have made in the dive gear dept.

The Zeagle Zena is an awesome bc for women. You could comfortably intergrate 16 lbs maybe 18 into that bc. If you need additional weights you may consider ankle weights or tank weights. You may also try using steel tanks which would allow you to cut 4-6 lbs of weight from your weights. I have found weight belts to be uncomfortable and you may want to consider some of these other methods. I switched from an aluminum tank to a high pressure steel tank and dropped 6 lbs of weights.

FYI
A rough convertion of kilos to pounds is 1.6 pouns to the kilo.

I looking for a new BC to replace my much-loved but inadequately buoyant SeaQuest Diva QD. The obvious choice is the Diva LX, but I've also been shopping around.
So, the Zeagle Zena. Great fit, plenty of lift, one strange dangling pocket, three plastic d-rings. This is a problem, because I normally carry the following:
-- depth gauge (back-up for computer, lives in pocket)
-- small torch
-- buddy line (okay, I could live without it)
-- shears
-- small SMB/safety sausage
-- slate
-- stainless steel rod (pointer/tank banger)
Plus sometimes I have other stuff as well... a larger SMB, a reel, instructor slates, and/or a large torch.
What am I supposed to do, dive with a handbag?! Nice as it is, the Zena just doesn't seem very practical... but maybe I'm mistaken. If you own a Zena, where do you put your stuff?

Zeagle will put more d-rings on it for you, for a price of course...
