HTS1 weight and back plate questions

[RyanSMF]

Hi, I have the HTS1 with the oxycheq machv wing and I am setting up the HTS QLR weight system. There is a helper
strap on each weight pocket with a male quick disconnect. Which female clip do I need to get and how is it supposed
to attach to the harness? I was going to try to find something to attach it to the shoulder D-ring.
Or I also thought about cutting them off, good or bad idea?

Also I may dive with double tanks someday and I'm wondering what my options are for backplates.
I know hollis recommends the hts plates but I am
wondering if I could put a full backplate on it or what all of my options are. I cant really find a whole lot of information about this so I appreciate the help.

Hi Ryan, the male quick disconnect on the weight pocket eliminates the existing strap from the waist to the shoulder and clips into the harness. Regarding backplates, YES these can be threaded onto the harness although they would only serve to add additional ballast. Our HTS are the proper form of attachment, but both can be used together.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Nick, I thought that was how the weights attached. I guess I have the wrong ones then because the male clip is way smaller than the female on the harness. Ill get a hold of the shop I bought it from then. Is that smaller
clip for the HTS2 maybe?

Here's a pic of them.

Hi Ryan,

Yes, since you have the HTS1 you will need the original HTS pockets. What you have currently are the HTS2 weight pockets. Only difference is the strap and buckle width.

I ordered the right ones and they sent me the wrong ones, we were baffled trying to figure it out, thanks for the help.
