Problem with harness accessories staying put

[FishWatcher747]

I have a standard 2 inch webbing BPW harness. Not a tech guy and not going to be, just a rec diver. My problem is I use HOG utility pouches, weight pouches on cam straps and such that thread onto the harness. The standard triglides are so low profile that the pouches don't stay put, they can slide right over the triglides.

I am guessing the utility pouches and weight pouch openings are maybe 2 1/4 inches which is fine for threading on a 2 inch webbing but all the triglides I have seen have a height that is no more than 2 1/4 inches.

Any ideas how to solve this?

I use the fat plastic triglides with the rounded front.

I use some cord to connect to the backplate, or you can run cord or a cable tie through a triglide and pouch tabs.

Can you link a source of these rounded front triglides?

Don't use the tri-glide to "block" your pockets....instead weave your 2" strap down through one side of the tri-glide, then under the keeper/mounting strap of your pocket and then up through the other side of the tri-glide...the tri-glide will be superimposed atop the keeper/mountring strap of your pocket and lock the pocket in place.

Here is a series of pictures showing a Dive Rite QB weight pocket being attached with a plastic tri-glide to the waist belt portion of a 2" wide nylon webbing harness:

Metal tri-glides work too:

Double sided velcro strap through the triglide, and arround the pouch guides.

That works well when the strap on the accessory is only 1/2 inch like in your pictures. The HOG utility pockets and the weight pockets have about a 2 inch strap. So for your solution to work I would have to cut vertically through the 2 inch strap, burn the edges which might be a good idea. See picture below.
