The Scubadiving magazine Testers Video report quotes:
Zeagle Covert XT
When we tried the original Covert, we joked that its fit reminded us of a corset. With an overhaul of the harness, air cell and integrated weights, it’s less like an undergarment and more like a tactical vest. Despite minimal padding, it received top scores for comfort and stability. Diver comments like “snug and comfortable” and “precise attitude control.” The Covert XT has picked up a few ounces, but it’s still under 6 pounds in medium. All the changes have made it better, with more-rugged materials (especially in the air-cell cover). More lift and more options for storage, including web loops to secure accessory pockets.
The redesigned integrated-weight pockets load easily from the top and take 14 pounds. While rear trim pockets hold 10. Even better than the original, the Covert is our Testers Choice for back-inflation BCDs.
