Hi everyone, First I would like to say that I'm a huge Zeagle fan. I own a Ranger and 2 sets of regs from Zeagle. All of the products I've bought have been outstanding. I recently purchased a Wicked lite for my son to use and for me to take traveling when I go to the Caribbean. I love my Ranger but it's not that travel friendly. Anyway I just did about 6 dives on it in Belize and the weights dropped out of my pockets on 3 dives. The first time I thought maybe I just didn't have the velcro together properly, but the other two times I did a thorough check before each dive. They seemed to have come out further into the dive when I went into a head down position. I was diving with 12 pounds of weight. Two 3 pound hard weights on each side. I absolutely love this BC otherwise. It's rugged enough and rolls up like newspaper. So I have a few questions to try and make this a bit safer for me.
Are there any weight configurations that work better with this BC? like soft versus hard or several small weights versus one big one?
Would using a zip tie to hold the weights together help if I use multiple hard weights?
I noticed that the top and bottom flap have a loop of webbing on the end that can touch each other. Would adding a little Velcro to them help? and if so would it void my warranty?
I think that maybe the weights shifting might be part of the problem. Does anyone think that stuffing a rag or a sock in the empty space to keep things from shifting would help. Or would it cause problems if I had to ditch them?
Anything else that I'm not thinking of that anyone could suggest would be greatly appreciated.
I really like this BC but want it make sure it's safe for before I put my son in it.
Thanks!
