i wanted an extra pair for my BCD just in case one was lost
Loose one of your weight pockets, maybe you purchased a BCD without pockets and now want weight intergraded capabilities, whatever your reason this is what you are looking for. Sherwood's CQR3 Weight Pockets are constructed from durable reinforced nylon with a zipper closure and impact resistant quick release buckle and pull handle. Easy to install and are easy to jettison when an emergency occurs. CRQ3 Weight Pockets are designed to work with Sherwood BCD's equipped with the New CRQ3 Weight Pocket System. BCD's included the AVID, Luna, Axis, Shadow, (see SKU's: SWDAV4, SWDLU, SWDAXN, SWDSH) Weight Pockets are available in 3-weight capacities of 7 lbs., 10 lbs. and 13 lbs. (3.2 kg, 4.5 kg and 6 kg).

I just bought a AVID BC and I have had two weight pockets fall out diving a dive. I double checked the snap in connection after loosing the first weight pocket. They dropped out after 30 minutes in the water. Has anyone else had this issue with Sherwood Weight Pocket CQR for the Sherwood Avid BCD ?

My wife has a Sherwood Luna BCD, the zipper ripped out on one of her pockets so I purchased a new one. The first 10 lb. pocket was a newer design and could not be used so it was returned to Leisure Pro. I then purchased a 7 lb. weight pocket (which seems to be identical to the original 10 lb. pocket, only the handle is a different color.) She has not had any issues with loosing pockets.

No, Never had a problem with them falling out. Just make sure when you clip them in that there is nothing in the way. Sometimes I have something in the zipper pockets and that can get in the way of clipping in the weight pocket.

Hi Chris, I have had an AVID BC for 10 year without any problems, I bought the" Sherwood Avid CQR 3 BCD ~Discontinued X-Large " and now I had the problem of losing two pockets on different dives. The pockets do not click in firmly like on my old AVID BC. see my other replies. Has anyone buy the " Sherwood Avid CQR 3 BCD ~Discontinued X-Large " and had problems ?

I have dove with the Avid for about 4-5 years. Lost one weight pocketing over 300 dives. You must make sure the pocket is properly seated in the opening and pushed all the way in. Then engage the clamp properly, you should hear a loud click when clamp is engaged. The clamp will go together offline but does not properly engage. Be careful doing this before any dive and you will stop losing weight pockets.

Thanks, please read my replies to the others.

We have 3 AVID CQR BCD's in the family. We have never had this happen one time in over 400 combined dives. Sorry you had a problem. Are you hearing an audible click when the connector is snapped in. Is is possible you have a bad connecter?
DENIS F
HI HYRUM, Yes they click in but not like they did on my old AVID BC. See my answer to Brian also. This is my second AVID BC.

I own one of those bcd’s too probably have a 200+ dive with mine and never had this issue? It actually takes some effort to pull mine out. Putting them in requires some effort too. When inserted correctly, they should make a loud click when engaged. Only issue i’ve with those pockets is hard weights. Just a warning, if in fact you do use solid lead, make sure to wrap them in a hand towel or something so they don’t flop around. The hard weights will blow out the zipper in a heartbeat if they are loose. I got less than a weeks worth of a trip before I learned that lesson.

Hi Brian, This is my second AVID BC. The first AVID BC (I had for 10 years) never lost a pocket. I bought a discontinued AVID BC from Leisurepro and I have lost two pockets. Yes, the pockets click in but not like, they did on the old BC. After losing one pocket, I made sure I clicked the pockets in this time. The pockets come out easier than the pockets from the old BC. For weights, I use flat pieces of zinc I buy from the marine store. They are 1/2 thick and do not push in on my sides like the hard lead weights do.
Leisurepro will take the BC back under the warranty and ship it to Sherwood for me. Leisurepro has always stood behind their products and treated me very well.

Will this work on an older version Avid which has the old style weight pockets using insert clips only?
HAROLD E
no

How many soft weights can fit in one pocket?
HAROLD E
Probably 10 pounds. I use 10 pounds of hard weight, as it slides in and out much easier than soft weight.
DICK S
Enough to fit ten pounds of weight no matter which configuration of weights I have actually put 13 lbs 4 and 5 soft weight and a 4 lb lead weight
matthew l
It depends on the weight of them. It will hold up to a 10lb hard weight.
Terry G
Side XL will hold 10 pounds in each pocket
HYRUM T
I have put 2 5lb soft weights in this pocket. BUT, it doesn't work as well as 2 5lb hard weights. or you can buy 10 lb weights in one piece vinyl clad that work well.
STEVE R
Are these interchangeable? If I have a BCD with 10lb pockets could I use 13lb pockets?
BRIAN S
I replaced 10's with 7's so I would imagine the 13's would work as well...I do recommend you use soft weights with those pockets. Lead weights will bust the zippers if you are not careful.

Why Did You Choose This?
SCOTT S
The zipper on my original broke.
KAREN H
I lost the other one.
DAVID P
Lost one need a spare
JOHN M
I wore out the old ones . Love this BCD.
DICK C
Replacement weight pocket, for my Sherwood Avoid BCD, which I lost on my last dive.
HAROLD E
Because they are crappy quality, and keep breaking, which is dangerous. The cheap zipper pulls apart and the weights fall out. Before much longer I will just get a DIFFERENT brand of BC. Sherwood is garbage.
