Questions about this item:
Shopper It has been suggested that a simple 2 lb ( varies based on person/bcd etc) trim weight on the back of tank will avoid the face down push of a back inflation bcd. Has anyone else had experience using the pocket to do this?
ROBERT M I purchased 2 of these to add pockets for non-releaseable weights on my non-integrated BC. They were large enough for the 4lb weights I used(a 2lb weight would flop around) and they worked fine for about 5 dives. However one started to shred at the side seam and I had to discard it before it broke and lost the weight. I'm not sure that I would purchase one of these again.
BERNARD R If your BCD pushes you forward enough that it's noticable, 2 lbs on the back of your tank probably won't help. I recommend you look for another BCD; I did just that when I had a similar problem. Being pushed forward by your BCD can be dangerous, especially when you surface in choppy water and you're out of, or low on air. It happened to me and I can only recommend a flotation device that solves the problem. I do like having weight on my back, but a BCD with rear weight pockets or a weight belt loaded to the rear is a better way to go. Experiment with different combinations in calm water.
Good luck and happy diving.
DAVID M B You will always play with weight pocket locations for trim. On my system, Once the correct location was found, it is worth its value. Very durable product, ez to use
LEONARDO D I use this,because I don"t like to carry all the weight on my hip.It 's beter for my back
DAVID B I haven't tried it myself but it 's worth s try.
MARK E I suggest 2 pockets with 2# each. I tried one pocket but it makes it hard to adjust the strap. With 2 you have good balance and easy access to the strap.
Shopper what is the size of this pocket?
ALAN D 4" X 4"....why doesn't leisure pro provide this information to you?
If I can measure the item why can't leisure pro?
JAMES W It will easily hold a (5) lb hard or soft weight, BUT, I DO NOT RECOMMEND getting this pocket at the current time.
I have (4) of them and have found that the velcro flap is not strong enough to hold the weight in the pocket if a diver is horizontal or inverted.
I'm working with XS Scuba on replacing the pockets that I have and they have just sent me two of their pockets with the weight ditching tabs on them for evaluation and the velcro is MUCH stronger on them.
The pockets are just the right size for trim weights but I'd advise against this particular product right now until they have made the design change to put a better velcro on the flaps.
STERLING L The pocket is 4" square when the velcro flap is closed. After the pouch is mounted on a tank strap, if you need to insert the strap through the mounting openings of a wing, the pouch's bottom folds up inside the pouch, reducing the dimensions to 4x3" so it can tuck neatly through the opening.
The pouch neatly holds a 2# hard or soft weight (but I've squeezed a 3# soft weight in). I place two pouches on the upper tank band and use them for 4# total of trim weight.
To install the pouches or to remove them, you have to take off the tank band.
MICHAEL R I used 2 pockets with 4lb. weights to balance / trim my KISS Rebreather. The 4 lb. weight fits loosely in the 4" square pocket. It would probably hold a little more since the sides and top can be pushed out a little larger...
WAYNE M The pocket is just big enough to fit a 4 lb. weight.
Shopper Is this for one or a set of two
LeisurePro S Just the one pocket.
Shopper Why Did You Choose This?
PAUL O Needed back weights to get good trim.
JOHN O I wanted to borrow a back plate/wing set up from a buddy and maybe get out of the typical BC set up. I needed these to try and get as streamlined as I could get.
KEITH A Best Fit for a custom weight belt.
DAVID B Used to augment weight bearing aspects of BC.
DAVID B Used to augment weight bearing aspects of BC.
MIKE P helps with the weight and getting underwater, plus its not around the waist
DAVID S I use these for weight pockets on the belt of my BPW setup and secure them with zip ties to stop them from sliding
MICHAEL R Good pocket to use to add trim weights
