BCD For Sale
Posted by Neil on January 26th, 2010
I’m considering buying a new lightweight BC for travelling, but it would be nice to know I can sell my old one first…
It’s an AP Valves Buddy Ranger (XL size). It’s served me very well for several years, but is still in very good condition.
It’s currently got an Air2 on it – but I will be keeping that. (I should be able to swap it for the Inflator on the new BC, but that’s not guaranteed – you might have to buy a new inflator).
The colour is bright yellow, as pictured – and it’s not faded, despite quite a few years of use. It has a pull dump on the right shoulder and the bottom left of the back (but not an inflator dump).
There are two integrated Weight pockets (you can see the handles in the picture), holding up to 5Kg each, but despite this, there is still plenty of pocket space for slates, camera, or even a small reel and SMB (one of the things I really like about Buddy BCs is the huge pockets!).
There are also two shoulder pockets for trim weights, which is great for keeping you horizontal in the water.
The BC does not come with the emergency bottle that’s an optional extra on Buddy BCs, but I believe one could be fitted easily (in fact, I think I have the one that came with the Buddy Commando I had originally – would need servicing though).

It’s a great BC for beginners, and still has many years use left in it.
