Hi, folks...
I have been toying with the idea of using doubles on my Zeagle Ranger. Has anyone used the ranger in this config? What was your experience (good and/or bad)?
I looked on Zeagle's website & found the diagrams for attaching doubles. Two things I noticed (perhaps out of inexperience):
-- The little brackets that go on the diver's side of the BCD seem a little small, and it seems that the wingnuts would poke uncomfortably into the diver's back/spine area.
-- With the weight of doubles & manifold, it seems like supporting all that weight on two 1/2" grommet holes would create a lot of strain on the fabric.
Perhaps the best idea, as delighted as I am with my Ranger, might be to go with a backplate/harness/wings rig if I ever want to dive doubles.
Thanks in advance for advice/help/thoughts...
