Just purchased a rear inflate BC from Oceanic, Chute II.
I weigh about 200 lbs. height is 5' 10". My question is,
how much or about how much weight would be used in
rear trim pockets to keep you from going forward on the
surface? With a jacket style BC I used 10 lbs of weight.
I guess what I am looking for is a starting point.
Thanks Jim M
 
It's hard to say, you have to test it out for yourslef.
Jump in the water, have your weight on, dump the air out of your BC and holding a normal breath of air, your eyes should be just on the surface. Try descending.
