Transpac weight pockets

[maildiver]

Can anyone tell me how the weight pockets are supposed to be attached. When I got it from the dive shop they were threaded between the waistbelt webbing slots. They seem to really sag while diving. I looked at the instruction paper it came with, and it shows them mounted at a 45 degree angle, the instructions are very vague.

what size weight pockets do you have? the ones i have have three slots for straps and goes right over the metal bracket thats beend laced through with your webbing. so the two inch webbing goes through that metal bracket and sandwiches the main strap of the weight pocket against it. they do kind of sag though. if your still unsure take it to the dealer you bought it from and im sure they'll rig it up for you. i can take pictures of them later and send them to you if you want, just send me a pm

Are they DiveRite weight pouches? If so and as Bruce3 said, they go on the back side of the metal brackets. The brackets keep them from slipping around. Mine are the 16 lb pouches and I usually put 4 or 5 lbs in each one. I also use DiveRites 2 lb trim weights in the back.

My weight pouches don't sag.

EDIT: The DR pouches are designed to slant backward. They will slant in one dorection or the other due to the design. I you have DR's and they slant toward the front you need to switch sides. As I remember they are labeled L & R.

Thread the waist strap through the rear slot (closest to the aircell) on the shoulder strap stabilizing plate ,then through the webbing on the weight pocket, and finally through the front slot (closest to the QR buckle). When done in this manner, there is no snag in the weight pockets.

Since the LDS already assembled it, you will have to remove the QR buckle to mount the weight pockets. Hope this helps.

Yes... these are the correct instructions. I said on the back side of the metal bracket and that was wrong.
