I recently upgraded to a Ranger and after having done about 25 dives with it I've been noticing one minor annoyance: The channel connecting the right side and the left side seems a bit narrow.
I dive properly weighted (which means very little air in my BC) and have noticed that the little air in there usually gets stuck on the left side (inflater hose side). I find myself having to turn on my side a lot to get the air to move around and equalize on both sides.
Has anyone else diving a Ranger noticed this? I never seemed to have this problem with my old Zeagle BC (era: 1992). My old one had a bladder shaped like a V. The new Ranger has a bladder shaped more like a U with a (comparatively) narrow channel across the top.
Unfortunately, that's one of those things you wouldn't even notice until you start diving with it. Aside from that - the Ranger is the best BC I've ever had the pleasure of using!
