This is not a "review" as such but hopefully some helpful info adressing issues raised in some other reviews. I am about to order one of these to add some weight to my ali plate when I need it (when it gets cold). I usually dive steels with little to no wetsuit in summer and a steel backplate is too heavy. I don't want the hassle of owning 2 backplates and switching between them.
I hate the idea of bags of little lead pellets, anywhere. I had some soft pouch weights once and they used to leach onto whatever they were left on. I don't want this on my back, or splitting open on a boat. I have some lead sheet that I will cut into strips the same size as the pocket. Each strip will be about a pound I am guessing.
So adding the required number of strips will a) be easy to gauge, b) eliminate the above pellet issues, and c) it will stay in one place in the groove unlike a half filled pocket of lead shot.
For $13 I can't see a downside!
