Morning guys!
Well I just got back from a trip to Little Cayman and had a great time. Only thing that I didn't like was getting my bag under the 50 pound limit. After getting back I started thinking "which is scarey". I currently have a Zeagle Ranger LTD, and its a pretty big BCD and not that easy to pack on trips and I think with the lumbar pad and everything it requires me to wear a few extra pounds of weight. I've about 95% decided just for a change to hang up the Ranger and get a Halcyon Eclipse BP/W. Any of you guys that have used both think I will be disappointed? Or will it just take a little getting used to? I know there are cheaper BP/W's out there but I don't mind spending the money on something I think I will have for awhile, and from what I've seen they hold their value better than some makes. Anyhow any advice would be appreciated. And I know its better to demo something before buying unfortunately not much options around my area. I just figure the only think I will be missing is the pockets, and they weren't that easy to use while diving anyhow.
Thanks
David
