The belt spearos trust. A rubber weight belt stretches with your body. It stays tight when the water pressure squeezes your suit at depth, so your weights never slide or turn around.
Why rubber is better
-
Stays tight at depth: a webbing belt goes loose when your suit compresses, but rubber stays snug.
-
Comfortable breathing: it stretches when you breathe up, so it never squeezes your stomach.
-
Weights stay in place: no sliding or spinning around your waist.
-
Quick-release buckle: drop your weights fast in an emergency.
Wear it low on your hips for the best comfort and breathing.
