Size and compression matter.... however this last weekend. I added my mid layer. I also added 3 lbs of weight. I was a tad bit heavy. But less then 1 lb. so elected for the added weight then too light. This was in fresh water using bare base layer and adding the mid layer full jumpsuit.

Assuming this is you...and also assuming...maybe wrongly that this is your standard ''go to'' kit...I'm seeing monster doubles...and slinging what appears to be a 3AL 40...with all this...you're still wearing additional ballast...
With this kit...If you were jumping into the water looking like the ''Michelin Tire Man''...you'd still be negative...
Depends on the tanks. Freshwater for me in a 420g, if they aren’t worthingtons, I need to add weight (7lbs including some 20ah batteries)
PST/LP Fabers of old are light in the water, and require additional weight.
If I was down in the springs with worthingtons (and no stages), i’d have troubles keeping my head above water with worthingtons in my 190g. With LP Faber/PST, without a stage, I can just keep my chin out of the water with the same setup (60lb wing).
