Hi folks,
I've just bought my first ever BCD - a new Hollis ATS. There are 2 items on it that I'm not familiar with. Pics of these items are below.
One is the pocket on the waistband. It's about the size of a cassette tape. It's attached to velcro, and the velcro can be found on the opposite side as well, beside the other integrated weight pocket. I am guessing this is simply an additional weight pocket, given its intended proximity to the other weight pockets. I'm just curious if that's its intended use, or if it's meant for something else in particular, or anything in general (cell phone, cigarettes, fish food, etc).
The second item is a strap on the back of the BCD, located above the tank strap. I've taken 2 pictures of it. It's the one that I'm holding in both pics. This one really has me scratching my head. (edit: perhaps it goes around the tank valve, to secure the tank in place even better?)
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
