Zeagle Express Tech question

I was wondering if the Zeagle 34lb elastic bladder will work with it?

Any advantage/disadvantage over the 35lb Stiletto bladder?

Thanks!

ScottZeagle · Mar 14, 2011

Yes it will work.

Advantage - perhaps a little more streamlined.

Disadvantage - the material is not nearly as tough, so you may get punctures.

Thanks,

Scott

Thanks Scott. Does the lack of strength also mean it has a shorter overall lifespan?

ScottZeagle · Mar 15, 2011

Not necessarily. It just means that it is more prone to punctures.

That being said, because it has a urethane inner bladder, it can be patched.

Thanks,

Scott

OK, awesome. I just bought one and can't wait to try it out. Curious why you guys choose to design it, and why not in another lift capacity?

The All-Elastic is a great wing. My wife now dives it with her back plate when diving singles. I tlike it over wings with bungie holding the wing in. As Scott said very streamlined and perfect for warm and temperate diving. Most divers even in cold water do not need that much lift. As such, the amount provided is a nice balance between multiple uses.

I don't know. It was originally designed to be used with our aluminum backplate - before all the "travel BCs" hit the market, and served that purpose well for many people.

There really hasn't been a demand for other sizes, so...

Thanks,

Scott
