Weight harness
I came to the conclusion today that i need to buy a weight harness i find weight belts uncomfortable (they end up around my ankles) My stab has integrated weights but these restrict pocket size and don't quite hold enough weight, enough for fresh water but 2-3k shy for the sea. What do people on here use/ recommend?

Cheers guys.

I have a Scubapro harness for sale on ebay at the mo, item 320053950464.

Its shit, the weight pouches fall out of the holder so you probably wont want the Scubapro one. Oh yeah, it was £80 as well, total rip off!

a company called Bowstone do one that I use. It fits real well and holds a shed load of lead should you need it. I use the shot bags. There is no chance of it falling off.

I have a Bowstone harness. It is very comfortable. I have had it where the bag holding the weights have fallen out of the harness pouch but the bag still managed to hang on enough not to seperate completely.

My buddy had no trouble slipping it back in through so did not need to can the dive.

I use a Bowstone as well, and you can lose the pouches. A lesson I learnt while diving Medes Islands is if you leave your kit on board a boat check that all is in order before diving. I hadnt done and it was just the velcro that was holding the pouch in not the press stud, thankfully it dropped while I was doing 6 metre practice stop and not while I was at 20 metres.
