I really don't have to worry about with the select few I would actually buddy with.
However a forgotten weight belt happens to the best of us and is still very funny when you get to point it out to your mate who has finally got his kit on and then realised.
so you are saying that a weight belt is sometimes forgotten, but never anything else (in your select group)?
It seems to me that it might save time by just taking a look to ensure everyone has a weight belt.
