Zeagle’s Halo was named ScubaLab’s Testers Choice in Scuba Diving’s June 2016 Jacket-style BC test.
“Zeagle has made a name with rugged, tech-y back-inflation BCs. But in its first at-bat in jacket BCs, they’ve hit a home run with the Halo, which brings everything we liked about Zeagle back-inflates into a comfortable, and capable wraparound BC. The harness has loads of adjustability, and the two-strap tank attachment makes the soft back plate rock-solid stable. Seven stainless D-rings and two zippered cargo pockets (nearly 10 inches deep) offer a place for everything. The Ripcord integrated weights are a pain to rethread if you ever dump them, but the single release has a hook-and-loop safety strap to make sure it won’t happen by accident. The system earned high scores for easy loading with its red-zippered top access, and when you do ditch your weights, they jump out like they’re spring-loaded. The Halo is the most expensive BC here and one of the heaviest — about 8 pounds in medium — but it’s thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail and ruggedly built of tough materials with a well-finished look and feel. The Halo is our Testers Choice in this category.”
