Hi,

The integrated weight pockets are designed to hold apprx 13lbs per pocket. I have seen 15lbs of soft thin fabric shot lead squished in. Hope this helps, and someone has a review for you.

Best regards,
 
FYI, I have the ICON and I assume they are all the same. The max weight is embossed on the plastic frame of the pouch. I find that I can only get 12 pounds per pouch in hard weights. When I'm diving dry with an AL80, I have to resort to a weight belt as well as the BCD weights. My bad for trying to get a travel BCD to one-size-fits-all diving (i.e. tropical AND cold water).
