Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the weight holder. Some find it a great weight keeper for those who suffer from lower back pain, it fits a 5lb hard lead weight just barely. It's a flexible weight belt that does not slip on them while diving. However, some customers say it's way too small for their 34 inch waist.

It certainly would be much better if the seller could provide better specs on this item. But since they don't, I will for others who are thinking about buying it. I bought the 8 pocket version. This belt is 59 inches long with the buckle removed. The buckle installation uses up about 3 inches of that length (minimally). The pocket portion of the belt is 42.5 inches. The pockets themselves are 6 inches high, and vary between 5 and 6 inches each. The buckle side of the belt extends 8.5 inches beyond the pockets (without buckle), the insert side of the belt extends 8 inches beyond the pockets. You should be able to figure out roughly how big smaller belts are based on this information, I assume. I would have given the belt a five if this info didn't have to be discovered by purchasing it. The outside is closed nylon, the inside is nylon mesh, a narrow strip of neoprene foam runs along roughly the upper middle of the inside. The zipper opens on the insert side of the belt (right side). It has a clip on the left side and a clip on triangle on the right side. Those connectors are somewhat identified by the fact that the nylon webbing that they attached with is purple. I personally don't trust plastic buckles for my weight belt, so I replaced the one provided with a stainless steel buckle from a previous belt. I think a plastic buckle is ok on a BC, but not on a critical item like a weight belt (not a slam on this buckle, it's probably ok as plastic buckles go). I also rounded the insert side of the belt, so it enters the buckle more easily. Because with my wet suit on, I'm still only around 40 inches at the waist, I partially freed up the right front pocket with a seam ripper to give me just enough tension to keep the belt on my hips. This was really a plan from the beginning, if the pocket portion proved too long to fit tightly on my waist; so that I could use the last pocket as a free floating small goodie bag. I only need 12 lbs in fresh water and the availability of so many pockets allows that weight to be forward of my hips, which is what I wanted, but still leaves the front rightmost and front leftmost pockets empty. I found the belt comfortable in use, and it did not slip on me while diving. So I recommend it given those caveats. A nice belt for pretty cheap. One advantage over my old belt, which was completely neoprene, this belt has no effect on buoyancy based on compression, and it also dries very quickly. As a technical writer I'm always amazed to see a technical product offered without adequate specs. Don't these people lose a lot of money on returns over time? Anyway, hope this helps my fellow divers. Dive safe, relax and have fun!What? Just looked at the picture of the weight belt currently being shown for sale, and it doesn't look a thing like the belt I got and was previously shown for this product. So this review may be of no value at all now. Here is what the belt I got looked like, except that it is entirely black, except for the purple clip attachment webbing!

This items is good quality but be aware that the belt part is rather short. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone over size 34 waist if used with a wetsuit.

5.0 out of 5 stars works well for snorkle and shallow swims

Works as expected. Pouches are a bit small. But you can easily put weights or rocks in them to help with buoyancy. Buckle does not come loose easily. But I don't think I would use this scuba diving, as the weight system, especially if you are using rocks is just too unknown and random for a safe dive. But for shallow snorkle dives or if you just need be underwater for some reason, it will help as a counterweight. Just make sure you get the right belt size, as the pouches are sewn on the belt and cannot be adjusted.

1.0 out of 5 stars Far far far too short, and only the nice & perhaps human many-pocket version is in the photo.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016
Size: 5 PocketsVerified Purchase
A joke. Lengths not listed on the site because they are so stupidly short. I can't believe I got this useless thing. I have been diving often, and so many of these must go out and then it's a hassle to return it. You have to order LOTS of pockets to get any length. Buyer beware. The innovation in Innovative Scuba Concepts is to not include the concept of how long it is so you will do what I did, order it. And then? Need something else and perhaps not get around to returning it. Save yourself! Seller: List lengths or be a misleading seller.

I'm a small dude and the 6 pocket barely fits. It actually can't get any tighter on me so it slides a little. I'm around a 29" waist. I should have gotten a smaller size. Otherwise it works great. Only concern is ditching it in a emergency. It would be a little more time consuming.

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2017
Size: 8 PocketsVerified Purchase
I use ankle weights to add resistance for my daily walks plus this belt with weight added for extra resistance. I added the weights from an worn out pair of ankle weights to this weight belt b/c using a weight vest or backpack in FL heat and high humidity is not comfortable in the least. Since i live in FL with flat terrain i need to add weight to make a difference. Much more effective results than just speed walking, etc. I believe running is destructive to hip,knee,ankle and foot joints over time plus i tend to overheat easily in this weather. Seems like a rugged belt so far. Fits a 5lb hard lead weight just barely. I have the 6 pocket belt NOT 8 pocket. The 8 pocket was not able to be adjusted small enough to fit my waist securely (~35" waist) Soft weights would be more comfortable but i already had plenty of hard weight to use and it still is plenty comfortable b/c the belt is nice and wide

Very nice construction and hardware. However, this is apparently intended for a 16 year old with a 30” waist. Seriously need to be more generous with the webbing. Or at least explain that it is one size fits few. I had to get more webbing spliced on.
