There are two options for adjusting the weight of your Halcyon Active Control Ballast System's pockets. One option allows you to place the pockets vertically. Each system can hold up to 2,6kg. The system is adjustable to your desired weight, and includes an Active Control Ballast (ACB). The best way to maximize the safety and effectiveness your cycling gear is by choosing the right weight pockets.
Trim your weight
The Halcyon tank-mounted Weight Pockets have a new feature called Trim. It allows divers the ability to shift up 10 lb. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. Pockets counteract the buoyant effects of almost empty cylinders. Divers can have more bottom time, make less effort, and enjoy diving more.
Active Control Ballast, integrated system
The ACB vertically integrated weight system can hold up five pounds of weight per pouch. This design allows for quick release and placement. The ACB pocket can have an Explorer Light System installed behind it for added versatility and safety. Side release buckles protect accidental lead weight loss and provide quick access to weights if needed.
Mounting on bottle strap
The Halcyon new tank-mounted trimweight pockets allow for optimal weight distribution. They also promote comfort and stability during diving. They reduce effort, promote in-water stability and encourage the head-up position. Mounted on tanks, the pockets allow you to easily balance the weight of your tank cylinder for optimal in water stability. Here are some pros and cons of tank-mounted weight pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket by manufacturer Halcyon is an innovative invention. It allows for optimal weight distribution and promotes comfort in the water. Divers who use this feature report that they are able to move weight from their waist into their cylinder. This improves horizontal trim and propulsion. Divers can prolong their bottom time, which increases the diver's enjoyment. In addition to the positive benefits of moving weight from the waist to the cylinder, the Halcyon Trim Weight Pockets counteract the negative effects of near-empty cylinders and reduce the amount of effort required for the diver to maintain their head and maintain a horizontal position.
Cost
Halcyon weight pouches are an excellent option for divers looking to improve their diving performance and/or to distribute weight evenly. These pockets slide on top of the tank's cam band and provide a secure area to add weight. These pockets can hold from 5lbs to 5kg depending on the tank that you use. These weight pockets are priced differently by brands, but they are worth every penny.
