Halcyon Trim Weight Pockets (Pair)
If your feet sink or your head drops as soon as you stop finning, a kilo or two in the wrong place is usually the reason. Halcyon's trim weight pockets let you move small amounts of lead to where your rig needs it, so you can stay flat without hanging more weight on your waist.
They come as a pair, and each pocket holds up to 5 lb (2.2 kg). We fit them to Halcyon single cylinder systems such as the Era BC System and the Eclipse BC System, and you can add them when you order a system or on their own later.

Before you order: these are for trim, not for carrying all your lead. They mount on your tank cam bands.
Why divers choose trim pockets
Flat trim without a heavier belt
Moving a small amount of lead higher or lower on your rig changes your balance far more than adding weight at the waist. Most students we move into a backplate and wing find one small shift sorts out a sinking-feet problem.
Quick changes between dives
Swap from a 12 litre to a 15 litre, or from a wetsuit to a drysuit, and your balance point moves. With trim pockets you adjust a kilo between dives instead of rebuilding your weighting.
Features that matter underwater
Sold as a pair
Two pockets let you keep the load even left to right, so you are not fighting a roll while you correct pitch.
Up to 5 lb (2.2 kg) each
Enough for meaningful correction, small enough that you are never tempted to use them as your main ballast.
Carry most of your weight on the tank, plate or a releasable system such as the Halcyon ACB weight system. Trim pockets are not designed to be ditched in an emergency.
Why choose Halcyon trim pockets
If you dive a Halcyon system, pockets made by Halcyon fit and look like part of the rig rather than an afterthought. They are a small spend that fixes one of the most common complaints we hear from new backplate divers.
Spend over £100 with us and you can bring your new kit to one of our instructor-run pool sessions for free, to get confident with it. It is not one-to-one coaching, so you dive it yourself, and kit that has been in the water cannot be returned. That is the best place to work out where your trim weight should sit.
Who are they for
- Single cylinder divers on a Halcyon backplate and wing
- Divers who switch cylinders or suits and need to rebalance
- Anyone fighting feet-down or head-down trim
Who they may not be for: twinset divers usually add weight between the cylinders instead, with the Halcyon V-weight pouch. Browse the weights collection for other options.
How to get the best from them
- Get your total weighting right first, then use the pockets to balance it.
- Start with a small amount of lead and adjust a little at a time.
- Check trim with a full and a nearly empty cylinder.
- Rinse in fresh water after every dive.

Frequently asked questions
"Can I put all my weight in these?"
No. They are for trim. Your main ballast should be on the tank, plate or a releasable weight system.
"Do I need them on an Era wing?"
Maybe not. The Era already has four 1 kg Opti-Weight pockets. Trim pockets suit divers who need more correction than that, or who dive the Eclipse wing.
