I like them but I can't use on my tank strap, so I needed to buy a second strap.

I have two of these that I used as my ditchable weight pockets on my waist webbing. Small, light weight and perfect when you are diving a 3mm or less and only need a few pounds of lead

Dive with 5lbs on each side and this works perfectly. Used to have one with no quick release, but for demonstrating weight drop during pool sessions, this works great. Also use it to load up my weights after I put on the BC. Great setup.

The latest one ordered was a replacement for an earlier purchase, stitching unraveled after several years of use and I was concerned the weight would fall out at depth.

These pouches fit either a tank bank or a dive harness and are the perfect size for either.

Added it to a Hollis harness to help with trim. Works well but one and two pound soft weights don't stay in the pouch very well. it you need to add three or more to a location these are a good buy.

Nice pockets. Strong Velcro keeps it closed. The pocket itself is pretty big. Says up to 5 pounds, but feels more like use 5 pounds or use solid weights only. I lost a 3 pound soft weight from the open holes opposite the enclosure. I use them on my sidemount rig to avoid using a belt, but they can easily work for other applications.

These are a good addition to your dive gear. I hate weight belts. Getting rid of my weight belt was the single most comfortable thing I've done to my kit.

Nice product, will hold five pounds, but if you were to place a single one pound soft lead weight it would fall out.

Seams started coming apart after two dives. Very cheaply made. Also, the gaps at the sides are huge- you can easily pull a 2# soft weight right out the side. The Velcro closure is pretty strong at least. Strongly NOT recommended. At the price, I guess they are ok as disposable pockets for a single dive...

When I replaced an older backplate and harness I decided to try these instead of the XS Scuba WB101 - Single Weight Pockets used on my other rig. Dumping weight from those pockets requires removal of weight from the top, these dump from the bottom, unfortunately doing that can be somewhat tricky. That is offset by the low price compared to weight pockets offered by Dive Rite of other tech manufacturers for backplate/harness rigs.

Convenient and closes securely. I used it for every dive during a three-week diving vacation in Honduras, and it worked flawlessly.

Saved several hundred dollars when I bouught my BCD by buying the Scubapro Litehawk vs the Nighthawk.These pouches allowed me to add additional weight to my vest and still have the ability to quick dump in an emergency!!! Not to mention Leisure Pros quick delivery. 2 thumbs up!!

Very easy to install and work great with my single tank wing.

I got theses pockets to replace the slightly cheaper and smaller one by the same manufacturer. These pockets can easily handle 4 or 5 pound weights individually. The velcro is large and strong. They fit on a 2 in web belt and don't shift around much.All in all, they are a good product.

This is what I have been looking for! I use these as "integrated" weights for my backplate and wings and they do the job well. Don't waste your money paying for a brand name integrated weight setup that will cost MUCH more. I use one of these on each side of my 2" waist strap and have plenty of room left over for a pocket and line cutter. I keep about half my weight "dumpable" with these and half in the XS Scuba tank strap weight pockets and my trim is perfect. Definitely recommend.

Great Weight Pouches. Each Held 9lbs without dropping any.

I use the pockets as trim weights on my tank. I use the pockets upside down for fear of inadvertent release if I get into something in a wreck.

strap loop is too low, weight hangs away from belt. Might work better with soft weights but I won' be using it. Not recommended.

They get the job done, but I wish they came with some way to keep them from sliding around the harness. I know it can be done with keepers, I just wish it came with some. Also the pockets are only closed with velcro... I am waiting for the day I may an unintentional ascent..

I bought these for my backplate/harness setup for tropical diving - much easier than threading weights on each dive when tanks/weights are provided and turned in after each charter. Sturdy pocket will hold 5lbs each - enough for a 3mm suit!!

I had to see one and may try it on the front of a non-weight intigrated BC. If you do not need much weigh it looks great. It was not designed as a primary but appears to be worth it. Great for the price.

My wife and I use these weight pockets on our Dive Rite harnesses. The pockets thread easily, do not floop and hold the weights secure. It does take some effort and practice to deplouy the weights. But it is easy to get right.
