Installing Trim weight pockets on Brigade

[rick murry]

I was at Scuba toys with a buddy today, he bought a wetsuit and I some trim weight pockets for my brigade. We flew from Milwaukke Wi. just to visit scuba toys....wife works for airlines,,,,,but I digress. Joe showed me quickly the drill on installing the pockets, but after flying home I forgot and as I look at my brigade I draw a big fat blankety blank..help!

Well, I hope this works, it's my first time posting pics. Image 31 shows the two attachment points, marked by my finger and thumb. Image 32 is just a different angle (from the bottom). Basically, the lower tank strap goes through the loop on the back of each pouch, and the velcro at the top goes under and around the webbing directly above the lower tank strap. The pockets should both be facing away from the tank strap, and the red handles should be at the bottom of the BC. If you have any questions just PM me

I am surprised that the trim weight pockets are not included with the Brigade. They are standard on the Stiletto.

That's true, but it is also $85 more expensive. Maybe that part of the reason? Larry? Joe? Any input?

They're an option on the Brigade, aren't they?

Yep. Check the Brigade order page.

I was looking to add 2 lbs of trim so I tried this out. I purchased (2) 1 lb fishing weights and drilled a hole on the bottom of them. I then cable tied them to the outside of my top tank strap on my Brigade. They trimed me just fine with last weeks dives in Palau as I am very level. They do not get in the way of the tank nor do they rattle. Put them on once and you are done, YMMV

Nice, simple solution. Well done!
