The Brigade is a Ranger harness w/ a 35 lb wing vs. a 44 lb wing.
The Escape is pretty much the same as a Scout except the Escape has the ditchable front weight pockets.
I own an 2008 Zeagle Escape BC which I bought new. A month or two later I wanted to get a Brigade, so I ordered just the harness (and used my Escape wing, rear weight pockets, and tank straps). I have to say the Brigade is a bulkier, stronger, more comfortable, and way more stable when loaded up w/ weight and the tank is strapped in. Don't get me wrong, I like my Escape. But its never going to get used unless I'm travelling somewhere tropical w/ 75+ degree water.
