Weight pocket options for the transplate harness?

[geoff w]

I can get a hard eight and a soft two into my dive rite pouches...I've never tried more than that, but I'm pretty sure I could get 12 per side if they were all soft weights...I have them vertical on my Transpac...

My weight pockets pretty much max out at 8 lbs per side. I've cracked the outside plastic part of the buckle on each side once, and suspect it might be from trying to put too much weight in, which causes the pocket to bend and crack the plastic. I don't overstuff the pockets any more

Hi Geoff;
Are you using hard or soft weights? I will definitely keep an eye on the buckles, I usually dive with 7 per side, but have occasionally used up to 10... thanks for the heads up!! I've also thought about just slipping a two into the bottom of my utility pouches ( I have one on each side for light, SMB, etc...)

Soft weights. See 16 lb QB weight pocket buckles for what happened to me. I'm not sure if it's because I overstuffed the weight pockets or wear or stress on the plastic buckles in general. It happened once on each side, and DiveRite's excellent customer service made it all right. But I'm more careful now how much weight I put in the pockets

I just bought a Transpak2 and put these on it. As I dive in cold fresh water and use a 7mm full wetsuit with all the other cold water equipment, I need 18lbs for weighting and these hold the weight great.
