I'm in process of swapping stainless backplate and single tank bracket to aluminum so I can take it traveling. I'm looking for a way to add back the weight in some pouch on tank strap or something like that. Something I can carry empty and then get local weight to put in it. Anyone have a recommendation for something to use that is the highest quality and best safety. I will still have my dump weights on front but I want to add a little more to back to offset lower weight.
 

There are a lot of variations available. I like the ones that zip or buckle vs Velcro closure.
 
Subgravity has weight pockets that mount on the back of the plate. But they would only work with their plates; since they use an extra slot at the edge, lined up with the tank band slots. It’s a super clean setup, though, with all of your trim weights tucked behind the wing

Sub Gravity have trim weight pockets for your tank strap as well as trim weight pockets that mount on your backplate.
I have a Sub Gravity single tank package with an aluminum backplate, they good quality gear.
 
Diverite trim pockets are velcro so no need to undo a load of harness or strap. Place mine on the tank bands, works a treat
