Rating: WEIGHT BELT
Reviewer: Ryan Sagendorf, Saturday, December 04, 2010
I am a freediving spearfisherman from Utah, and I love this belt. We spearfish in Utahs fresh water which is generally cold, but in the summer months, it is warm enough to switch from our 7mm wet suits to our 2mm shorties. Its nice to have a belt that is durable enough to hold the heavy weight and then we can easily lighten the weight when we switch suits.

Rating: Pros and Cons
Reviewer: Carol Cox, Saturday, August 07, 2010  
pros: it is extremely easy to change the weights out. also very easy to redistribute the weight. takes hard or soft weights. the individual velcro pouches are far easier to use than zippered belts. the velcro securely hold the weights. the 6-pouch belt is versatile enough to use with my 5 mil or 2 mil wetsuits. con: a little bulkynot as streamlined as zippered belts. bulk is the trade-off for ease of use. the only time the bulk bothers me is when i put my bc on while in the water because it sometimes catches on the bc, but with experienece this is becoming much easier. once the bc is on, i forget about the weight belt. i have a ladies bc that rides above the belt, so bulk isnt a problem there.

Rating: Comfortable weight belt
Reviewer: Brent V., Monday, March 01, 2010
Most weight belts barely fit the five pound soft weights. The large pockets on this belt hold the five pound weights with no problem. Its also so comfortable that I wear it without my wetsuit in summer months.

Rating: Great weight Belt
Reviewer: Kermit L Van Brocklin, Wednesday, February 10, 2010
I bought the 6-pocket version. The pockets were big enough to hold 5lbs of shot each, in a baggie and cordora pouch no less. Comfortable and easy to get on/off. The yellow coloer is a great feature.

Rating: Great Visible Weight Belt

I have integrated weights in all my BCs but use this in a classroom environment where weight belts are removed during advanced skill exercises. The yellow color makes it easy to see and find underwater with no face mask.

Rating: The serious divers weight belt
Reviewer: JoAnn S., Friday, November 13, 2009 - View all my reviews
This weight belt was obviously designed with a lot of diver input. On the zippered weight belts, once the zipper dies, it becomes useless. The gusseted pockets for EACH weight have large flaps that securely close with Velcro so that you can safely dive in a head down posture where applicable without worrying about your weights sliding out of the pockets. The instructor for whom this belt was bought has been diving since the 80s and appreciated the arrangement of the pockets around the divers sides, so they would not be slipping under your tank. The pockets are held away from the center back with adjustable metal stays on the belt.

Rating: Very comfortable
Reviewer: David Butcher, Sunday, October 04, 2009 - View all my reviews
Ordered the 6 pocket belt and was nicely balanced and comfortable. I used the lead shot "bean bags" and couldnt even tell they were there once in the water. I worried about the velcro closures on the pockets not being enough, but so far no problems.

Rating: Best belt/bang for your buck
Reviewer: Eric Proctor, Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - View all my reviews
The 6 pocket weight belt, black, and added a depth compensating buckle (which is a must. this will make your belt more pleasing to wear since it will have some flex in the waist line). This belt is soooo comfortable, you can almost forget youre wearing it.. and I had 24 pounds in it. The weights stay out of the way, right where you want them and I like the idea of each weight having its own pouch. Ive read the other reviews and I didnt have any trouble getting the weights where I wanted them. Just bring the keepers in tight to the nylon sleeves and youre set. I gave this 5 stars because the item is durable, comfortable, and does what its supposed to do.

Reviewer: Jerry S., Saturday, December 20, 2008 - View all my reviews
I bought this for use when travelling with out weights. Excellent for this use. Makes weight use and return a breeze. Still like a more secure system for holding the weights if I am using my own weights. You could lose a weight if you handle the belt incorrectly.

Rating: Cordura weight belt
Reviewer: Clifford Kraft, Monday, December 15, 2008 - View all my reviews
The belt is okay, but the pockets are just a little too small for 5 lb weights. It is a fight to get the 5 lb weight in and out of the pocket and get the lid closed over the wight. Also, the buckle is very tight as far as sliding the strap in. The plastic should be just a tiny bit bigger for that size webbing.
