Overview The Zeagle Scout BCD is a lightweight, minimalist rear-inflate buoyancy compensator designed for recreational divers who want dependable performance without unnecessary bulk. As Zeagle&';s lightest and most compact BCD, the Scout is especially well suited for travel, new divers, and anyone building a simple, streamlined scuba setup. A low-profile 24 lb. / 10.9 kg lift bladder, elastic retractor, and elastic waist closure help keep the Scout compact in and out of the water. Zeagle&';s Personal Fit System allows the vest and shoulder sizing to be matched for a more customized fit, while two zippered utility pockets, four stainless steel D-rings, an adjustable sternum strap, and a rear-mounted weight system add practical functionality without sacrificing the Scout&';s lightweight design.
