LF: Quick Release Weight Pocket for 2" Webbing

[Pao]

Hello everyone. First of all thanks for the dive computer advice. Now I need to attach releasable weights to my Halcyon Eclipse BCD. The Halcyon ACB is quite expensive ($129 US - 6K PHP). Anybody got any suggestions? Are the XS Scuba releasable weight pockets locally available?

Thanks,
Richard Sagpao

I second...unless the weight pockets are colored pink.

It's kinda complicated with the webbing, the crotch strap and finally the weight belt.

Not that complicated... we do it all the time.

Simple wt belt on first then put your BP&W on. Or the other way if you want it to be more accessible for ditching.

I wear my wt belt under the harness in cold water and warm.

Hi Richard,

we have generic ones.
You can mount them on the tank strap or on the harness.
Velcro and Fastex Locks. Takes 5+ pounds.
345PHP/piece

We also have EXD Weight Systems for the harness where you can pull out the weight pockets like on a normal weight-integrated BCD.

Many thanks! I think I'll go for the weight belt option + a little on the tank strap. Might even improve my trim.
