How we calculate scores →About this gear
The Ranger is a substantial back-inflate BCD with a 44 lb bladder and 1050-denier nylon outer construction. Separate torso, chest and waist fitting, a front Ripcord weight system and rear trim pockets give it more adjustment and carrying capacity than the Scout. Zeagle lists its dry weight at 8.4 lb.
Consider before buying
That weight and structure take space in luggage. Twin-cylinder mounting requires the correct approved components and setup; mounting grommets alone do not make a complete twinset configuration. Try the harness and practise its release system under appropriate instruction before choosing it over a familiar jacket.
Our take
Buy it for fit, carrying requirements and modularity when a lighter BCD would leave something useful out. ScubaDiverHQ awards the Ranger 4.4/5, praising construction while flagging bulk and a surface-position learning curve. That becomes 88/100 here from one publisher, not a consensus. Compare the Stiletto for a lighter 35 lb-lift option.
