Design

• Zeagle BC design philosophy
• Component Construction. Zeagle BCs are flexible,
  modular systems of components that integrate all
  buoyancy related elements, including weights,
  into a compact and efficient system. When it
  comes to sizing and configuring a buoyancy system
  for you, Zeagle buoyancy systems offer options
  that are simply not found in other manufacturers
  products. The modularity and interchangeability
  of Zeagle components means that if in the future
  you change the kind of diving you do, your BC can
  change, too.

Zeagles Ripcord Weight System

• Including the weights as part of the buoyancy
  system improves balance and comfort in the water-
  it keeps your body from being pulled in different
  directions by the opposing forces of lift and
  weights. All Zeagle BCs since 1982 have been
  designed to be weight integrated. Zeagles
  patented Ripcord system allows for a single point
  instantaneous release of the weights from almost
  any position in the water. When compared to a
  weight belt release or the two handed systems
  used on many other weight integrated BC's the
  Ripcord is far simpler and more reliable. Some
  BC's offer a more economical pull out system that
  requires a two sided release to drop all the
  weights.
