I have one dring on it by my tail bone, a hands length from the plate. Can clip reels there. And my other dring is on the front for scooters, I guess. Although I don’t see how that’s going to be comfortable. That little bit of weight from the ring and triglide allow my to just swing the belt forward and grab it.
I have a SS plate and the DSS 10# weight plates. That’s usually plenty. Any more goes on a weight belt on me. Otherwise my rig wouldn’t float on it’s own. And if I put all of my weight on the rig, ditching all of it at depth, would turn me into a rocket.
I like the weight belt. Can’t think of a scenario where I would have trouble dropping it, where I wouldn’t also want my waist belt undone. It doesn’t get in the way, and I can make sure my rig, and myself can be reasonably balanced even when apart.
