with my cold water Hollis backplate system and steel tanks I use 14lbs of lead with the quick dump Hollis weight pockets.
In warmer water with aluminium tanks I don't really need much weight at all. I've only used it in the pool but can get away with no weight in a shorty wetsuit.
So for cold water I'm looking to get rid of the quick dump pouches and simplify the system a little which will be useful for travel too. I'll give a weight belt a try but I was thinking of throwing a second steel backplate on and then I'd only need about 8lbs on a belt.
Anyone tried this? Or any other cunning ways of adding a little weight to the backplate system so I only need a small amount on a belt.
Thanks!
