the items right at the bottom of the page.

Robin Hood Watersports

trim weight dealys to stick at the back of my transpac.

20 each is a very steep for me. since I will need 2 of them to remove weight from my waist.

or anyone know something similar, probably 5 quid is for the DR brand name.

either that will have to try and manufacture my own.

hmm or somehow get some from the states, they are only 20USD there.

I use the DR weight pockets myself. When abroad I can get away with just using them. Much more comfortable in a wetsuit then a lead block weight belt and it stops aluminium cylinders floating up your back on the surface at the end of the dive.

I've been looking at those myself and have also baulked at the price? Does anybody use them?

If so what's the best way of attching 'em to the transpac?

What is special about these weights that they may be designated as DIR?

FWIW, I put a 1kg shot bag betwwen my cylinders and SSBP. I also have a weight pouch (from Divingniknaks) that fixes onto the back of my cylinders and is held in place by fixing it to the lower twinning band stud. It holds 2 kgs.

I don't think they are designated in that way. It's just a way of holding weight that's not on a belt.
