Okay, I might as well get my two cents in... Being 6'5" and 245 lbs, covered up in 6 mil john and jacket, I need weight... and more than a little. I find that keeping too much in any one place makes staying horizontal interesting. MY solution is keeping some in the BC, which I like wearing a little high,, and some on a harness, which I actually wear closer to the hips than to the waist. I get a nice balance. The BC isn't too heavy to carry, and in the unlikely (I hope) event that I need to remove it, at least my air isn't sinking while I ascend, or vice versa. Yes, to dump ALL the weight would envolve 5 actions (pocket, pocket, waist, chest, chest), but how long would that really take? And would I really want to dump ALL the weight? (Andy rocket....)
