Quick-release weight pockets with integrated D-rings, designed to optimize waist space.
The original DTD Down-Drop Weight System, available at DIR-STORE, is the ultimate solution for divers who struggle to find enough space on their harness's waist strap for both weights and accessories (torches, cargo pockets, spools). Thanks to its low-profile vertical mounting, this system frees up the waist area while ensuring absolute stability.
Key Features and Benefits:
Space-Saving Down-Drop Design: Unlike traditional pockets that expand horizontally, taking up most of the waist strap, the Down-Drop system extends vertically downwards. This profile is ideal for those with a narrow waist who need to keep their hips clear.
Rigid Plate-Harness Attachment: The outer shell doesn't just slide onto the 50 mm waist webbing; it's bolted directly to the lower slots of the backplate using the included stainless steel screw and nut kit. This eliminates any swinging or slipping, making the pockets an integral part of the BCD's structure.
Removable Internal Pockets with Handle: The lead weights are housed in two independent internal pockets equipped with a robust, ergonomic handle. In case of emergency or to facilitate ascent operations onto a boat, the weights can be released instantly with a single smooth motion.
Integrated SPG D-Ring (Left Pocket): The left pocket comes standard with a stainless steel D-ring positioned in the correct DIR geometry, specifically for attaching the SPG's clip (extending the functionality of the covered webbing).
Load Capacity:
Each pocket is sized to comfortably hold 2 standard lead blocks of 1.5 kg or 2 kg, offering a total capacity ranging from 6 kg to 8 kg for the entire system.
