Shopper What are the dimensions of these bags with respect to their weight? I am trying to see what grouping will fit snugly in my Mares Icon. I plan to buy a variety of small sizes to distribute the weight to the back trims also.
ROBERT M I have the 2 and 5# weights.
The 2# one is approximately 4x3.5x1 inches.
The 5# is approximately 4x6x1.5 inches.
WILLIAM D Hi. I have 3 pounders and they are 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1".
CHAD P The 2 pound weight that I have is about 3" by 4" by less than 1", though the bags are very flexible so they will fit snugly into various shapes.
JAMES W Sorry about the delay in answering, just got e-mail back after the hurricane.
Personally, I WOULD NOT buy "soft weights" if I had it to do over. When I first started diving I bought (2) each 5, 4, 3, & 2 lb soft weights for a total of 28 lbs and have used them in various combinatons ever since.
They work fine and conform to the inside of my ditchable weight and trim weight pockets BUT THEY ARE A MESS after a dive. The lead pellets rub together inside the bags and I end up with gray stains on everything that they come into contact with.
My PERSONAL recommendation would be to buy HARD WEIGHTS instead. You'll find that they are more compact for a given weight and that they are easier to stuff into a pocket and best of all, THEY DON'T STAIN!
You can get the weights from several suppliers but the Sea Pearls that you can get from Leisure Pro and a great choice!
Best of luck with your diving!
