Weight pockets for Side Mount

Tecline Side Mount Weight Pockets

Tecline Side Mount Weight Pockets are technical accessories specifically designed to optimize ballast distribution in Side Mount systems. Thanks to their intelligent design, they allow for the modular placement of weights on the harness or backplate of the BCD, helping the diver achieve millimeter-perfect balance and a flawless horizontal trim.

Key Features and Modularity:

• Optimal Positioning: Designed to be attached directly to the harness webbing or dedicated backplates of Side Mount systems, allowing weight to be shifted along the body to compensate for the positive buoyancy of cylinders (especially aluminum ones) or wetsuits.
• High-Strength Materials: Made from robust, high-density technical fabric (Cordura type), extremely resistant to abrasion, cuts, and continuous rubbing against rocks, wrecks, or tight spaces.
• Secure Closure: Equipped with ultra-secure closure systems (with strong Velcro straps and/or mechanical buckles) that prevent accidental weight loss during dives or passages in confined environments.

Advantages in Side Mount:

• Improved Trim: By shifting ballast to the lumbar or dorsal area, they free up the hips and help maintain the classic horizontal posture effortlessly.
• Clean Profile (Streamlining): The ultra-flat design minimizes external bulk, keeping the entire configuration hydrodynamic and reducing the risk of snagging in caves or wrecks.
• Ease of Management: They allow for the insertion or removal of standard weight blocks with extreme ease during equipment preparation on land or on a boat.

Target Use:

An indispensable accessory for all Side Mount divers (recreational and technical) who use Tecline systems (such as the SIDE 16 or Avenger series) or compatible harnesses and wish to customize their ballast for total comfort during diving.
