Re: Weight appropriate for wetsuit?
Doesn't seem out of line to me. I'm 5'6 and 145# and it takes me 22# with a 7 mil full body wetsuit. If carrying that much weight bothers you, there are several things you can do to reduce it. 1. Switch to steel tank instead of aluminum. 2. Use a backplate/wing sytem instead of a BC. This gives you the option to make the system heavy with different weight sources, yet still keep up to 10# or so in ditchable weight pockets.
Doing this, and you can get rid of the weight belt totally. I personally find them uncomfortable. |
