Re: Lycra sleeve on weight belt to reduce snags.

Another idea you guys might try (if wearing a two-piece wetsuit) is to carry a spare band around your waist between your pants and top. Assuming your waist size is larger than your shooting band length, untie the replaceable wishbone from one side and use a piece of hair bungee to hold the band together so it fits comfortable around your waist. Position the spare band just above where you wear your belt. |

Re: Lycra sleeve on weight belt to reduce snags.
I made a inner tube weight belt using soft shot which works well. I used mountain bike tubes, one containing the shot and then slid the whole thing in another tube so it is double thickness for abrasion resistance etc. I use a quick release link and brass o ring for the buckle. It weighs 4 Kg and needs a crotch strap to keep it from falling up () the body when diving and it works for me. I also use ankle weights and a homemade back pouch.

Re: Lycra sleeve on weight belt to reduce snags.
I used 1mm neoprene and it worked wonders. Just find an old, sun bleached 1mm wetsuit and use inside of the sleeves. I found a tilos model with the titanium on the inside. The carefully warm it with a heat gun to mold it in place.
