Made from Cordura with Velcro closure and tab, the DGX Trim Weight Pocket is specifically designed to hold one { 2, 3 or 4 lb | 0.9, 1.3 or 1.8 kg } block weight, or small soft weights. The pocket is square with dimensions of { 3.25 x 3.25 in | 8.25 x 8.25 cm }. A stainless steel grommet at the bottom provides drainage.
Two { 1 in | 2.5 cm } nylon webbing strips along the back provide a secure fit on any { 2 in | 5 cm } webbing. Mounted sideways at the waist, when the pocket is opened the weight may be easily removed. The pocket is also ideal for attaching trim weight to cylinders. A { 2 in | 5.1 cm } belt slide or webbing lock can be used to secure the pocket if desired (NOT Included).
DGX Trim Weight Pockets are sold individually. Order two if you need a pair.
NOTE: The use of a belt slide (NOT Included) serves to work as a weight pocket STOP very well. See image above.
Perfect. Works exactly as pictured with the plastic triglide keeper. Fitted two to my wife’s lower tank band (DGX Gears BP/W BCD) and filled with a couple of beanbag weights. As a new diver, she knocked out dive number seven (one hour in the Atlantic) with great buoyancy control despite surge and current. She digs the simplicity of the system over the fiddly weight systems of other BCDs.

These pouches come at a great price, and do the job as intended. I could slide a 2kg uncoated lead weight in and out fairly easily, although it's snug. I couldn't get a plastic-coated 2kg weight to fit though. I wore the pouches so the openings were down when in a diving position, and they stayed closed for a weekend of diving. You will need the larger plastic weight keepers for these; I tried to use the smaller SS toothed belt sliders but with 2kg the pouches can slide over them.

I have four of these pockets for my DGX back plate system, two on the top cam strap and two on my belt, outside the d-rings and against the plate. Great pockets, hold the weight well. If you intend to have these on your belt, or anywhere that isn't a cam strap, invest in a plastic belt slide - I tried it without at first, and when weighted, the pockets would slide right over the D rings to the front of my belt. Not terrible, but not ideal. The belt slides keep them in place with weight.
This is a totally decent product for the price, and should work fine in a set it and forget it application. If you regularly change your trim weights, I’d consider a beefier construction. It may last forever, but I’d worry about the Velcro and stitching if I was constantly opening it.
Got these pockets to go on my cam bands on my BCD. I am more than happy with the quality of the pockets and the workmanship. They hold 4lb hard weights, even though it says 5lbs will fit. They are nice an compact and do not have a bunch of extra material. I would recommend these pockets! Thanks DRIS!
