Another vote for Bowstone here. Does the job with no fuss and is solid as a rock.

bowstone again. Built well, made in the UK, great support if you have any problems.

The missus and I use them and love them.

Buy online at Bowstone Diving - Homepage

And no, I don't work for them, they're just on my 'good companies who I would recommend to a friend' list, like hammond drysuits, croxley divers, Apex reg servicing, greenforce and SDS

Cheers

I'm actually shocked that this would happen. There's so much velcro (plus the press-stud) that my only worry is that I might not be able to dump them in a hurry! I find them a bit difficult to remove when getting onto a RIB.

Whatever, I think it's a great bit of kit.

There is a certain technique needed to release the pouches in a Bowstone and generally speaking it is not a quick as a standard weight-belt.

I had a Scubapro one and yes I agree the pouches fall out really easily...they dangle by the clips and make it a very crappy bit of kit.

I bought a Dui one from Stoney and its superb.

Lazlo it was my fault as I had not checked that they were all in situ ie velcroed and press stud closed and they obviously wasnt hence them falling out. Never happened since I check every time now.
