Overview
A 54 inch rubber weight belt from Riffe built for freediving and spearfishing, with a glass-filled nylon cam-lock buckle and a quick-release lever for emergency ditching, and it can be trimmed to length.
Rubber weight belts are popular in freediving because the material stretches and compresses slightly with the chest on a breath-hold dive, unlike a rigid nylon strap. Riffe, a company that has built spearguns for decades, applies the same rubber-and-buckle design here, and it is meant to be cut down to the diver's own waist size.
- 54 inch length, 2mm thick, cuts to size
- Holds up to 20 lbs of lead weight
- Glass-filled nylon cam-lock buckle
- 2 inch wide ribbed rubber for a secure grip
Who it's for
Suited to freedivers, spearfishers and recreational scuba or snorkeling divers who want a belt that flexes with the chest and releases fast in an emergency. Not needed by casual pool swimmers or anyone who does not use lead weights.
Pros and cons
- Quick-release lever for fast emergency ditching
- Rubber stretches with the chest, unlike nylon
- Ribbed interior keeps weights from sliding
- Can be cut down to a custom length
- Buckle is plastic, though no failures reported
Performance notes
The belt holds up to 20 lbs of lead across a 2 inch wide, 2mm thick ribbed rubber strap, and the inner ribbing is what keeps weights from sliding once the belt is cinched and worn low on the hips. The glass-filled nylon buckle pulls open with a single lever motion for a fast ditch, and because it is rubber rather than nylon webbing, it stretches slightly on a breath-hold and lets go quickly when needed.
