Neutrally Buoyant Material pads for harness?

[napDiver]

My xdeep Zen harness is a bit rough when i'm diving tropical water. Would like to get neutrally buoyant material to put as padding for the harness.

Does anyone know where i can get a generic one or material? Any other recommendations welcomed. Otherwise, i'd have to buy xdeeps 3D meshpad.

A sleeve from an old wetsuit. It has negligible buoyancy.

The Xdeep padding is also negligible buoyant as well

You had me for a minute, I read that and thought WTF. Then I realized you were in Florida, and you wouldn't be using the 7 mil suit we use up here. Thought you might get a chuckle.

I am using Apeks version of this and they are pretty comfortable. I believe it is very simple, straightforward and cost effective solutions.

Look at the Sub Gravity shoulder pads. They aren't made from neoprene, so they aren't as bulky or buoyant. Harness Shoulder Pads – Pair - SubGravity

When using old twin tanks, with harness attached directly to them, I did use mountain-bike inner tube sleeved onto the rough bands...

I have shoulder pads on my HOG TBCS, which came installed with the bp/w, and sometimes wonder how much extra weight they require for neutral buoyancy. Somehow, I can't imagine them adding enough buoyancy to the the bp/w that I would notice any appreciable additional weight requirement since I see 2# weights as the minimum anywhere I have dived. I usually like to be about that much over perfect weighting, and even when diving locally with my own weights, my smallest are 2#.
