Agreed. Years back, I used a simple Velcro system. Never had a weight fall out, but understand that the Velcro does wear out over time. And unlike the Zip Touch system, the Velcro needed to be opened and closed regularly.It depends on the ditchable weight system.
I've seen enough recalls on the the clip in pouches to make me wary. At least one manufacturer recalled their new improved pouches after their first recall. Doesn't really fill me with confidence.
I'm now using the Zeagle Ripcord system. Some don't like it because it takes a bit longer to rethread, but it really only takes a couple minutes. As long as you zip the pocket closed when you add your weights, they really can't fall out on their own.
