Has anyone had any experience with this 12LB weight system? Looking for a ditchable weight system on a BP/W single setup.
OMS Ballast System {12 lb | 5.4 kg}
It looks to be very similar to the Halcyon ABS pockets, but much cheaper and larger capacity. I don’t need the extra capacity, but the price is right.
Has anyone seen these in the flesh?
I’m wondering if they have anything in place to stop them sliding forward, as the Halcyon pockets do.
Any other thoughts?
For background I dive a BP/W, and have been using a weight belt for the last 10 years, but it hurts my lower back so I want to get the weight (10-16lb wet/dry) off. I also have never been entirely comfortable not having easily ditchable weight, though mostly that’s been how I’ve dived with the belt under the crotch strap.
