Questions about this item:
Shopper Does the IQ pack works without additional backplate?
ROY M I have never dove my IQ harness without a backplate. The harness attaches with eyebolts to the wing. You would have to use eyebolts and the metal wing clips to attach the two together if you did not use a backplate. I use mine with a stainless backplate and a double bladder 95 OMS wing. I use double 100 hp steel tanks most of the time. I do use It with my singles also. I use a stainless steel tank adapter and backplate on my 120's and 130's. This is an awsome rig, but i think its works best with the back plate. Its also looks awsome with that big red bladder.
JEFFREY H It does need a backplate. I have over a hundred 50 dives with it and I am happy with it so far. I had a Halcyon before and I like the way this fits me. I'm 6ft and 200lbs. I fit perfect into a large in all suits.
JONATHAN B No. Try the Dive Rite Transpac. It has a semi rigid backplate. All you need are the STA plates for doubles and you are in bussiness. Nothing is needed for singles. Much better system.
LANNY P Yes, It was designed to/works fine without a backplate. That was a serious consideration for my purchase of the IQ. I've used mine many times with single Steel 120s without any problems at all. Skip the backplate unless you're the type who wears a belt WITH suspenders to hold up your pants.
HONEY L Yes, but it is much more comfortable with a backplate. I have never used it without a backplate.
DAVID F Yes it does, but I find it much more stable with the backplate. Plus, the backplate adds weight, which you can take off your hips
diveinst d Which weight pockets do you recommend?
DAN W Hi, I don't know what kind of diving you plan on doing so I will give my opinion on the two weight pockets I have. I have both the No Sag weight pocket and the Compact weight pocket. The No Sag pockets are are big and bulky, lots of storage space for a lot of weight and have an emergency dump option. I find them to be cumbersome. The Compact weight pockets are what I personally use, they are good for holding about 6 to 8 lbs each, maybe 10 but it might be a tight fit. There is no emergency dump option and you will need some kind of OMS Billy Ring or other type of Weight Keeper to hold them in place. They are very streamline when swimming horizontally close to the bottom where as the No Sag pockets tend to hang down a bit. That"s my opinion, hope it helps.
PETER M Personally, I don't recommend using weight pockets on the harness. I have mine on a separate belt, and small ankle weights (I dive a drysuit). The reason I say this is that you may need to ditch weights in an emergency and the harness takes too long to deal with. Also, if you are thin like me, there isn't much room left on the waist band for pockets when you cinch it down. Another downside to putting weights on the harness is that the combined weight of the tank and weights is very unwieldy to haul into a boat or lift onto your back out of the water.
That being said, I do have a couple of OMS pockets I use on the harness from time to time for a safety sausage and john line when I'm diving from a boat in current and rough conditions. You will need some keepers to prevent them from sliding off inadvertently.
If you are set on putting weight pockets on the harness, make sure they are easy to access and have velcro and a pull tab you can feel through gloves in case you need to ditch some weight. Also, I don't recommend the type that has a bottom dump velcro, as they sometimes catch on things and dump weight when you don't want them to.
Hope this helps.
DAVID F I use an aluminum plate, plus a DUI harness. I don't like weight pockets - and I don't like the weight on my hips.
DWAYNE S Actually I dont recommend any. After a 100+ dives using the OMS quick dumps I converted over to a traditional weight belt. Its difficult to load integrated weight pockets with the BP/W on, so you have to load before you put it on so you are lifting the tank, BP, harness, and weights. This gets real old quick.
VOLODIMIR K I bought OMS weight pockets, but these are so uncomfortable that I ended using a weight belt.
In addition since this harness and BCD are of the technical character weight pockets are not recommended for these dives.
My 2 cents: use the belt and don't buy any weight pockets.
SCOTT F I use the OMS 6lb backplate and the OMS mini weight pockets mounted on the tank. These pockets can handle 5lbs each and maybe more if you use soft weights. If I need more I use a weight belt so I can ditch it if needed.
Shopper Does IQ pack have a lifting ring between the shoulders?
LeisurePro S Yes, the IQ harness has a lifting ring between the shoulders.
Shopper Does the IQ Pack come with Cam bands or nesscasry hardware to attach a wing BC.

OMS staff, after diving on the S.S. Aleutian Steamer (220 fsw) off Kodiak Island, Alaska (www.DiveAleutian.com), ran into some Number 5 bunker oil. This and other nasty Petrochemicals can eat through many materials, are difficult to clean off and can permanently stain your dive gear. Unfortunately Bunker oil and other nasty Petrochemicals can remain in a shipwreck for many years and if a diver makes contact, many hours can be spent cleaning gear. Solution:
OMS has developed an easy to clean BC and IQ Pack by utilizing chemically resistant Urethane coated polyester fabric (5 oz. on the front and 5 oz. on the back). Both BC and IQ Pack are ideal for SAR work where environmental contaminants may be a concern. This BC has been redesigned to meet the stringent requirements of Public Safety Divers (PSD) and Military divers around the world with regard to diving either in polluted water or HAZMAT conditions.

The lightweight harness is intended to be used in conjunction with a weight belt for free diving. It does not replace or substitute a diver's weight belt, but rather reduces the stress on the diver's lower back by replacing some of the weight belt weight on the waist. This is particularly important for diving in colder water where a thicker wetsuit and more weight are normally required. By using the vest less stress is on the diver's lower back and the weight is more evenly distributed around the upper body for better trim and balance while hunting... more
