Am looking to purchase the ACB system. I too have a small waist. How long is each pocket?

I'm not exactly sure (I can't find that information in the specs and there are 2 sizes too), but I believe they took up at least 6" of space on each side of my harness. I didn't have room for my knife when I put them on, and they made the harness too big to fit around my waist. Here are some photos, one with it installed, maybe that will help: http://shop.extreme-exposure.com/halc/mc-weighting.shtml

I borrowed a set to try before buying, and I'm really glad I didn't spend the $ on those only to find they didn't fit. I also found them very cumbersome, but then I'm a small-ish person.
 
what about custom divers pockets or deepoutdoors? the latter one look pretty nice with secure closure that doesn't rely solely on velcro?
 
i also use the zeagle (bp intergrated) set, they work well for me

links or pics? i have seen the deepoutdoors and they look very nice.
 
the deepoutdoors: http://deepoutdoors.com/ (look for soft parts/accessory pocket/mws pocket)
custom divers: http://www.customdivers.com/weight_pocket_set.htm

I personally decided on either golemgear pockets: http://golemgear.com/pc-276-14-golem-gear-integrated-weight-system-for-backplate.aspx
or oxycheq: http://oxycheq.com/Oxycheq/pockets/576736EF-FF9F-47B6-8B12-E45E250221D3.html
. They are basically in the same price range, although golem's pockets are secured via fastex buckle and oxycheq is more like Dive Rite pockets (velcro). Unfortunately, halcyon, customs, deepoutdoors are more expensive options for me right now, but Golem pockets look a lot like the ones from Halcyon.
 
another vote for the Zeagle Zip Touch pockets..I don't even know they are back there..
