I had my weight pocket inserts swiped on a public rinse rack. I purchased several spare pairs. Love my BC and think the weight pockets/inserts are great. Terrific construction and easy to pull out. A bit difficult to insert back into weight pocket when already in water as velcro grabs before you can clip into the clip opening. I now also write my name on weight inserts w paint pen in case I either need to dump or if they are swiped again.
