Designed by women for
women for better balance and comfort
The Zena has been designed by women specifically for women. The twin straps
adjust to fit waist and hips independently, while the elastic front panels
provide outstanding fit and comfort. Our patented PFS sizing system allows for
the waist size, chest size, and torso length to be independently fitted.
The Zena is designed to be fitted with the upper waistband at the natural waist,
placing the weights and buoyancy low, around the body's center of buoyancy. It
closes in the front with a heavy-duty zipper for a snug and secure, yet
non-restrictive fit. A Ripcord release weight system is standard.
The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not
finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but the fact that women's
bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the
BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower
center of buoyancy compared to men. So conventional buoyancy systems, which
would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be worn higher,
around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure. The Zena's twin
waist and hip band system provides a way for women to securely position the
weights and buoyancy below waist level, around the body's center of buoyancy.
