does anyone know if the Zip Touch Weight System by zeagle is mountable on an oms setup i like the idea of the weight being in the back like that and not on my sides.
 
Have the same question. With what wings is the Zip Touch Weight System compatible without drilling holes?
DSS, Dive Rite?
 
sew em on! Get some heavy duty nylon thread and sew the pocket system on! i dont see why it wouldnt work.
 
ecudiver,

I really hate weight pouches on my hips too and weight belts are out as well. I figured out that I could just get some XSScuba weight pouches and slipped them onto the tank straps.

It seems to me that I saw a picture or read a message about these pockets with non-Zeagle BP. Wat was it? OMS, DSS, DiveRite?
I'm looking for the rig now and leaninig to DSS, but don't like belts (oops, no hips). These zeagle pockets looks like a good alternative, but are they compatible with DSS?
 
one question i was wondering bout, will putting all the weight on the back plate like that pull me backwards and will i be able to stay stable on the surface and under water?
 
The Zip Touch weight pockets will not fit on the DSS SS BP without drilling new holes. I mounted them on my DSS rig about a month ago. I do not regret drilling new holes in the plate, as the pockets are very slick. You don't even know they are there. I just dove Coz last week and my trim was good with 5lbs in each pocket (was a little overweight). Pm me if you have any more questions.

Thanks, grumpymedic.

I've just realize, looking at the picture, that Zeagle pockets prevents using of DSS weight plates. Should think about this before, I'm slow a little :)
