Best option that I am aware of is the Helium Dive Fly System but it’s designed to work with the holes in their plates so that is out.

 
Here's one, a sack

I do
 
I use four Hollis 5lb Trim pockets directly on my Helium titanium plate. They have a double hook and loop attachment as shown in the picture. They might work for your needs.

I opted for the DiveSytem one myself, because it keeps the travel weight down (I'm gonna put it on an aluminum backplate), but can accommodate all the weight that I would need right on top of the backplate. Just by putting in standard lead blocks or soft weights in the pockets. I'm going for a balanced rig, by the way. If I would want ditchable weights too, I could always attach a pair of weight pockets that go on the waist belt.

This may very well work! I have an Alu. plate I am going to be using for travel and it is important that I can adjust the weights easily. Bolting the actual weights to the plate isn't a solution but this may work if the straps don't impede the tank straps when going to their respective channel slots.

I'll let you know. I ordered the DiveSystem system and it should be delivered today. I'll post some pictures too if I manage to install it. I am going to use it in combination with the Tecline Donut 15 wing and alu backplate.

Are you going to be using an STA or just band straps?
