The photo bellow shows my favorite weight belt. I generally don't need any weight, but when I do that's my preferred type.

It is a 2 inch webbing with strip of hook material on the full length. Hook as in hook-n-loop (Velcro stuff). Then you attach the pouches that also have the matching loop side of the Velcro.

I used to have about half a dozen of the empty pouches, depending on my needs I would use as many as I wanted with whatever distribution of weights as I needed. I originally got it around the late 80's at Brownies Third Lung in S Florida.

Later on I bought, borrowed and or traded for pouches that were closed with a fixed amount of lead, most of them 4 pounders.

Well now remodeling the dive shed, and visiting every piece of gear we have, I realize there is only one open pouch left. No problem I thought, should be easy to find... we'll I was wrong, is turning out to be quite a challenge to find these things.
Does anyone know where I can find them? The photo shows the belt, with the closed pouch, a open pouch#1on the left and another closed pouch # 2 on the right.

I'm sure they aren't hard to make but I don't have a way to saw thick denier material or similar.
