Shopper how do you calculate how much weight to put on.
LeisurePro S There are all kinds of formulas out there, but the one I have heard the most is to take ten percent of your body weight and then add anywhere from 4-10 pounds depending on the thickness of wetsuit you are wearing (thicker wetsuit, more weight). This will get you in the right ball park, but to tell for sure, you should do a bouyancy test with all your equipment out in the water (with the proper amount of weight and lungs full of air, you should float just at eye level with the water).
