I'm a bit confused. I was looking for the added buoyancy of each type of vest. When you add the 7mm overvest or the 3mm chicken vest to you overall kit how much lead do you have to add?spectrum:Well I have the Bare Arctic, just slightly more buoyant and that vest in size XL I dive PST E7-80s and wear 20 pounds in salt water. Your suit consist of a little less rubber so you can shave a few pounds.
