How much weight do you carry?

[yodelhawk]

Hawlin gear is a drag. Just want to know what the average diver schleppes around. I know, I know there are many variables in our sport and I know somebody out there wants to tell me to do a buoyancy check and call it good, but I want to know what others are doing. So... A short list of your gear and then the amount of lead you tack on. I'll go first:
DUI drysuit
Fleece double layer undergarment
Steel tank
31 lbs of lead and I think I might be a little heavy.

 

[TSandM]

Whites fusion dry suit
4th Element Halo undergarment
Santi heated vest
Kam fleece base layer

SS backplate and wing
Steel HP100

20 lb weight belt, two 3 lb weights on the cambands, plus five pounds for the backplate -- 31 pounds total. With the halo, that might be just a tech light, in that if I had to hold onto a bag with 500 psi or less, I think I'd be swimming downward.

Double 85s
Aluminum backplate
7 lb tailweight
12 pound weight belt

I don't know how the two can possibly be consistent, but both have been weight checked.

2 piece 7mm john
5mm hood, gloves, boots
SQ Balance BCD

28 lbs (fresh), thinking 2 lbs heavy

 

[Torben]

Rashguard (warm water diver )
Boots
Aqualung pro bcd

2 kg while fundiving

 

[ddmattos]

Santi E-Lite
Fourth Element zerotherm and arctic
Backplate, wing, STA
Plate 6lbs+STA 6lbs +3 in each cam pouch = 18lbs total
119 hp steel tank
12lbs when wearing just the fourth element drybase.

With steel 119 doudles just a 6lbs backplate.

 

[koozemani]

About 215lbs. Mostly around the middle.

[racerx_]

Rashguard/boardshorts
Boots
Zeagle express tech bc

3kg for saltwater
0weights in the pool the other day (makes me think 3kg may be too much weight for salt water)

 

[DevonDiver]

Rashguard and X-Shorts. 17lb Oxycheq Mach V on a Halcyon Ali backplate (no sta). AL80 cylinder.

2lbs of lead.

Can get away with zero lead weight,.. but have to breath shallow on stops if I go substantially below 500psi - so the lead is really only for low-on-air contingencies. It helps with trim, so it's there as standard.

Bare HD Tech drysuit
Bare CT200 + UnderArmour Coldgear undergarments

30 lbs of lead
