Tobin, I was looking for ditchable weight pockets on dss's site. Do you have any available?

We don't make any weight pockets. I would recommend against trying to put all of your ballast on your rig in any event.

IIRC, you should need little or no additional ballast with a SS plate, al 80 and little or no exposure suit anyway.

Keep in mind that heavy weight belt can be uncomfortable, but the 2-4 lbs you might need is not.

I'd recommend the DUI Weight and Trim II weight harness. It works great underneath a DSS rig.

Thanks. I'll just use a standard belt for now, but I would like to try the DUI harness.

Try leisurepro XS`scuba makes a pocket that mounts on the web waist belt and you can pull on it to release the weight. You only lose the lead. Zeagle also has a set that mounts on the back pate and threads through the webbing. It mousts with "sex" bolts. The pouches work the same as the ones on Zeagle BCs

I have a DUI W&T Classic (which is almost the same) and agree with this

But if you attach weight to the plate directly, you'd have to be sure the wing has enough lift.

The Zeagle pockets allow you to ditch the weight!

What's the difference between the Classic and Trim II versions? I'm also looking to get one, I'm small, which would be more adjustable?

Cheers!
