Mares Universal Hanger, Black

I did a careful review of the Scubapro Hanger and the Mares Hanger. The Mares Hanger is a better design without any loose pieces or odd parts that I have to cut off and it's less expensive than the Scubapro Hanger, so despite owning nearly all things Scubapro, I went with this hanger. I must say, it's very well thought out and does the job nicely for all of my scuba gear. I highly recommend it.

Works really well. Can hang all my gear on it (BC, boots, gloves, reg, fins) and everything dries faster than when I just hang it over the shower door. The hanger is really strong and I haven’t noticed any sign of damage despite hanging everything on it for extended periods of time.You’ll have to pick between gear and wetsuit, but i would buy this for gear and a cheaper hanger for the wetsuit.

This works great to hang up all of my gear after my dives for drying. Nice sturdy size hanger with lots of features to hang all of my pieces on. Perfect!

I have mixed feelings about this hangar. I bought two of them. One was for me and my Aqua Lung Rogue BCD, and one for my wife’s Aqua Lung Lotus BCD. My BCD fits ok, but it’s awkward to have to finger the slots open to get the BCD to slide in so it doesn’t fall off the shoulders of the hangar. It’s way harder for the Lotus to fit because it has thicker padding on the straps, and you have to contend with the Velcro low pressure inflator strap being right where it wants to rests in the hangar. Now, that having been said once you do have the BCD hung it doesn’t come off the hangar as easily as other designs, so that’s good.The hooks their literature calls out to use with a yoke style regulator are pretty much gona kink the living tar out of your hoses, so just screw the yoke onto the fitting, and clip it all back to your bcd.I haven’t tried to fit a wetsuit into it, but I doubt it would work with all the extra stuff on the bottom half.For the few DIN regulator breathers out there it does not have a threaded fitting to connect your regulator to like I've seen on a lot of other hangars, so your stuck trusting it doesn’t slide out of the hooks. Might want to bring a couple ball end buggies to secure it to the hangar just in case. They are nice to have around for securing your dangalies anyway.For traveling it could potentially keep all your gear off the ground to dry if you find something that can hold all the weight to hang it from. That’s good! The down side is it’s twice the size of other hangars for travel. That’s bad. I won’t judge them on that because your traveling needs will be different than mine. I am perfectly fine letting my fins and booties dry agains the wall or on the floor.It does have a lot of useful hooks to hang your gear from, so I will say they did pretty good providing you with options. I wish the design had more room for the shoulder straps, and a bigger cutout so you could start the strap into its home without having to fiddle with it. Maybe they’ll get it on the next version. Maybe it’ll break in over time, and the problem will disappear. I have hopes it will.So, would I buy it again. I’m not sure. I’ll have to give it more time to see if it stands up to time. My issues I have with it aren’t enough trouble to return it, so I usually will rate items like that as I’d buy it again.

Received 2 of these fast and on time. The hangers are very sturdy. They have multiple slots that you can use for different equipment. I was able to put my BC, regulator, boots, and fins on one hanger. I put the same gear, my wife's, on the other one with no problems. I would buy more of these if I need them. To answer a question that may come up, due to the slots that the BC fit in, I have not figured out how to put the BC and wetsuit on it at the same time.

Someone stayed up late at night to design a product with as much utility as this thing has. It's strong and works very well. The equivalent of a Swiss Army knife in a wetsuit hangar.

Heavy duty and versatile, this hanger easily holds my III+ rated body armor with ammo and equipment (I don't keep my water bag mounted).Well worth the investment.

Doesn't hold my Aqua Lung Zuna well. The clip-in type shoulder retainers are fussy when it comes to specific bc design. Overall, seems to be well-made.
