I loved my Ranger, but in the end the bulk around the waist led me to swtich to a DR BPW. I have already said that the wing performance is no better on the BPW than the Ranger. What the BPW offers me is no bulk around the waist (and a weight belt is less bulky than using integrated weights) and it packs a lot easier and flatter than the Ranger. I would never push anyone to not get a Ranger, but I would recommend they tried a BPW as well.
