Hi all
I know the Ranger is a pretty popular BCD and is the one I currently have. One issue I have been having is that it seems to dump air through the inflator poorly. I feel as though I need to be past vertical, tilting pretty far back, to get it to dump well. Anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if it is characteristic of this BCD or just my unit.
I am evaluating other options (and yes, a BPW is one of them before everyone jumps in. I have read the threads so I understand the recommendations). One of the other options is the bagless zeagle bladder that is an option for the Stiletto. I am wondering if that would dump any better.
It has always done this but seems to have gotten worse since I have lost weight. I may also need to reduce the size of the shoulder panel.
Thanks for any feedback
