Weight Vest – Camo

The Camo series weight vest is meant for divers using our camo range of wetsuits who need more weights than a belt can fit, or who want to more evenly distribute the weights they are carrying. A more even distribution of weights is important particularly in shallow water and can help to keep you concealed in weed beds and shallow reefs alike. By putting a third of your weight in your vest, you will achieve a more even spread of weight, putting less stress on your lower back. It is also safer than overloading a weight belt with too much weight.

There are six velcro pockets on the vest – four vertically on the spine and one on each chest flap. Each pocket is padded and individually sealed so weights will not move around

Most weight vests attach to your weight belt in one form or another making it hard to quickly separate the belt from the vest in an emergency. The Hunt Master Camo Weight Vest uses a simple plastic ball on a cord that tucks under the belt and locates the vest snug on your back to avoid it riding up your shoulders when duck diving.

The key safety benefit of this system is that when making an emergency ascent by dropping your waist-mounted weight belt you’ve lost two thirds of your total weight without having to worry about clips, straps or fasteners. If you need to drop the remaining third of your weight it’s a simple task of two quick-release clips. We found that other styles of vests that thread a single clip through oversized D rings have a tendency to get hung-up under load. At Hunt Master we don’t compromise on safety and we believe our vests use the safest connection method on the market.
