Product Information
The Dive Rite Weight Pocket System 12LB is a quick release (QR) weight pocket set that adds up to 12 lb (5.44 kg) of ditchable ballast to any harness built on 2-inch (5 cm) webbing. Sold as a set of two pockets holding 6 lb (2.72 kg) each, it is made from 1680 denier ballistic nylon and built in the U.S.A.
Who it is for
This set suits warm water divers and anyone who needs only a modest amount of trim and ballast weight, whether diving a backplate and wing or a soft harness system. Because each pocket is compact, it occupies minimal space along the waist belt and leaves room for D-rings and other accessories. Divers who want weight they can ditch in an emergency, rather than fixed weight on a plate or cam band, are the natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these weight pockets fit my backplate harness?
Yes, if your harness uses standard 2-inch (5 cm) webbing. The pockets attach with two 0.75-inch (1.9 cm) webbing loops that slide over the waist webbing, and a 2-inch (5 cm) stainless steel slide locks each pocket in position. Dive Rite lists compatibility with the TransPac, TransPlate, Basic, and Deluxe harnesses, plus any other harness built on 2-inch webbing.
How much weight does each pocket hold?
Each pocket holds up to 6 lb (2.72 kg) of block-style dive weights, for a total of 12 lb (5.44 kg) across the set of two. If you need more ballast than that, this set is intended for warm water diving or divers who carry a smaller amount of trim and ballast weight.
Can the weight be ditched quickly in an emergency?
Yes. Each pocket closes with a low-profile 1-inch (2.54 cm) quick release buckle backed by a hook-and-loop safety flap, which keeps the weight secure during the dive. To ditch, pull the red tab and the pocket releases its weight. The two-stage closure is designed to prevent accidental loss while still allowing fast release.
Is this sold as a pair or a single pocket?
It is sold as a set: two pockets, each rated to 6 lb (2.72 kg), for 12 lb (5.44 kg) total. Dive weights are not included.
