I must congratulate Dive Rite on the TravelPac. I bought it for my wife who was not 100% on diving due to bad experiences on rental BCDs. She is now a lot more comfortable diving and loves her TravelPac. I do have a question though only somewhat related to the TravelPac:

My wife only needs 6 pounds when diving warm water (rash guard etc) like me. She has been looping in 3lb weights on the belt itself on the rig on each side. Obviously this necessitates her removing the buckle every time she needs to do add/remove the weights. We have a set of 16lb weight pockets but they are huge for her needs and we have never used them because of it. So I went looking today for some small pockets that could be useful in mounting either to the cam band or to the belt. I just went to your website and noticed the Travel Weight Pockets and have some questions. I have seen a picture where it looks like it mounts via velcro on the back. Is that truly how it attaches to the belt or does the belt slide through a sewn loop in the back?
 
Hi Rick,
We are so happy your wife enjoys her new TravelPac.

With the travel weight pockets, they were designed for exactly what you were talking about. They do have Velcro on the back to make it them easy to take off or put on. They are perfect for 2-4lbs of weight. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Safe Diving,
Jared

OK, so only velcro for attachment and not a sewn loop?
