The Halcyon Zero Gravity™ Weight Pouch is designed for divers who value precision and a streamlined profile. Often referred to as a "spine weight," this clever system installs discreetly between your backplate and backpad, allowing you to add ballast exactly where it is needed most—along your vertical center of gravity.
Unlike hip weights which can rotate or cause discomfort, this pouch keeps the weight fixed and stable. It is the perfect solution for divers traveling with lighter aluminum plates who need to add ballast without checking a heavy bag, or for sidemount divers looking to fine-tune their trim with thinner wetsuits.
Key Features
-
Centralized Ballast: Adds weight directly along the spine, which helps prevent the "feet-down" trim position common with some exposure suits.
-
High Capacity: Despite its low profile, the system features a Triple Pocket Design capable of holding up to 12 lbs (5.4 kg) of total weight.
-
Secure Mounting: Attaches firmly to the backplate system using heavy-duty Velcro straps, ensuring it never shifts during the dive.
-
Flexible Usage: You can fill all three pockets for maximum ballast or use just the top/bottom pockets to shift your center of gravity.
