I just got a Ranger (size large) and am wondering what the positive bouyancy is for getting my weighting right.
Zeagle Ranger positive bouyancy

Deflate it fully and throw it in the water. Add some weight until it sinks.

I dropped about 4 pounds going from a Ranger to a BP/W which I would largely attribute to the positively buoyant padding they use. If you are in love with that BC I will sell you my old one too.

Can't say for the Ranger but Zeagle says the Stiletto is 2 lbs positive.

Don Janni, where did you get that figure for the Stiletto if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

I called Zeagle and asked them. You can call them too.
With or without the trapped air?

Of course trapped air adds to positive buoyancy and the Ranger traps more than its share.

I live in SE Asia so calling the States isn't always a convenient option from a timezone perspective. Did they give you inherent buoyance figures on any of the other Zeagle BCD's and is it possible to get the Stiletto down to neutral buoyancy by taking out some padding or anything like that?
