XS Scuba Quick Attach Weight Pocket - Bummer

[Wayward Son]

yes, 3.5 wide, 4.75 long.

I use one of the non velcro ones on my lower cam band with a 5 Lb. soft weight in it- offsets my back mounted pony perfectly.

I have been using one of the velco on my upper cam band for about 2 years with no issues and it works well with the trim. The obvious advantages are that (1) the cam band secures the weight pocket even if the velcro should loosen and (2) less clutter and easier donning than on the shoulder, and (3) I can use an odd amount of weight for trim (doesn't have to be split between both shoulders). YMMV

We use them on the cam bands and cummerbund on the Companion bcd's with no problems.

As a side note they also work very well on a belt with pants and used to hold a Blackberry World Edition, displaying the nice XS Scuba Logo.

All my teaching and rental rigs (12) are BP/W with XS pockets. The quick attach/detach are a great idea, but do not work well for us on the waist belt. They are impossible to keep in place by any means I've found (even a SS buckle) as the pockets just slide over it. I also had one let go from the belt entirely.

I can see that they might be OK in an application where they will not be able to slide around (like a tank band)...
