Color Availability
The belt is available in 5 color options: Black, White, Brown, Silver, and Gold, allowing customization to match the user’s preferences and compatibility with freediving or spearfishing gear.
Rubber spacer for Pikotech dual-belt system
The Pikotech spacer is a specific component designed to keep the elastic straps separated in the dual-belt system, ensuring proper positioning and improving comfort during freediving and spearfishing.
Made from durable rubber, it is installed in the lumbar area, on the back of the body, where it effectively keeps the system’s elastic straps spaced apart. This prevents discomfort and improves fit, ensuring optimal force distribution during breathing and underwater movement.
Its fluorescent color makes the diver easy to spot from the surface, increasing safety during freediving and spearfishing.
Belt Band Lead Weights Holder Picasso
The Picasso elastic belt is designed specifically for freedivers and spearfishers, ensuring a secure hold for weights without unwanted movement during the descent. Made from high-quality elastic rubber, it provides excellent body-conforming fit while keeping the ballast stable.
The stainless steel buckle provides mechanical strength and high durability, ensuring safety and easy fastening and release even underwater.
Technical Features
- High-stretch rubber elastic belt
- Stainless steel buckle resistant to marine corrosion
- Optimal ballast stability, preventing shifting while freediving
- Compatible with traditional weight systems for freediving and spearfishing
Thanks to its construction, this belt allows more precise buoyancy control during freediving, improving user comfort and safety. Its ability to keep the ballast securely in place contributes to a smoother, more controlled descent, essential for freediving and spearfishing activities.
Elastic weight Belt with clip closure
This elastic belt is specifically designed for freedivers and spearfishers to ensure stable ballast distribution during descent. Its elastic construction reduces uncontrolled weight movement, optimizing trim in the water and improving safety and comfort during dives.
The belt features a clip buckle that allows for fast, secure closure, making it easy to put on and remove even in underwater conditions. The combination of elasticity and practical closure ensures a snug, customized fit.
Double belt kit compatible with the Modular Release system
This expansion kit, designed for underwater use and spearfishing, allows the use of a double belt with a single Modular Release quick-release point. The solution improves safety during dives and freediving activities, allowing both belts to be released simultaneously with ease and precision.
Technical components
- Two parts made from AISI 316L stainless steel, one to be attached to the main body of the release system and the other to be used as a buckle.
- Four fastening rings for the elastic bands that form the belts.
- Rubber spacer positionable in the rear center area to separate the belts, improving comfort and management during the dive.
- Rubber accessories with fluorescent coloring to ensure greater visibility in the water.
Features and benefits
The system allows two elastic belts to be connected while maintaining a single quick-release system, reducing time and complexity when immediate release is required. This configuration provides better load distribution and greater fastening reliability in the water.
Important note
The rubber elastic bands are not included in the kit and must be purchased separately.
The Weight Belt
The weight belt is one of the most important accessories for spearfishers and freedivers, as it holds the weight used to compensate for the buoyancy of the diver and their equipment.
The neoprene in a wetsuit, depending on its thickness, creates significant buoyancy; without a weight belt, it would be difficult to overcome this positive buoyancy and freedive comfortably.
Belt Material and Buckle
When choosing a weight belt, there are several factors to consider in order to make the right choice. Here are some of the main factors to keep in mind:
Material
Freediving and spearfishing belts must be strictly elastic. Belts made from non-elastic materials are not recommended for freediving and spearfishing, and are intended for other underwater disciplines.
Elastic weight belts are mainly made from 3 materials: rubber, high-density neoprene, or silicone.
With these materials, and by adjusting thickness or Shore hardness, belts with different elastic responses are produced to suit the needs of every freediver or spearfisher, ensuring the right experience for all conditions and styles of diving.
Closure system
Weight belts can feature different closure systems, such as plastic buckles, stainless steel buckles, Marseille-style buckles, or quick-release systems.
The closure system must be secure and easy to use, allowing the belt to be adjusted easily during activities in the water.
The Marseille Belt
Belts with a Marseille-style buckle deserve special focus. This type of belt has become the most popular among spearfishers and freedivers thanks to its reliability and safety.
The Marseille belt features a buckle that at first glance may look like a standard trouser belt buckle, but it has two key characteristics:
- The buckle has a roller (or cylinder) that allows the elastic belt to slide through the buckle, reducing friction.
- It keeps the locking pin in a forced open position.
This allows Marseille belts to prevent accidental buckle openings, which are common with other belts, while at the same time ensuring a free and extremely fast release when the user decides to "ditch" the belt.
Once released, the buckle pin remains in the open position, allowing the belt to pass freely through the buckle.
The Marseille belt is the safest belt model on the market, thanks to its quick release and reliability. But to ensure the quick release is not compromised by improper use, one precaution must be taken: the Marseille belt must be cut to size by the user!
Belts are sold in a standard length designed to fit larger waist sizes, and the user is expected to cut off any excess belt that is not needed. However, this is often overlooked, and many freedivers or spearfishers tend to wrap the excess around the belt itself, effectively compromising the belt’s quick release.
Our advice is to load the belt with the maximum number of weights you intend to use, put it on, and then cut off the excess portion, making sure to leave a section of belt (beyond the buckle) with at least two holes. This will give you a small tail of belt beyond the buckle, which can be "grabbed" if needed and simply pulled outward to trigger the belt’s quick release.
Marseille belts are usually made with thicker rubber that is better able to support the weight load. They also have controlled elasticity, which means that, when properly positioned, the belt does not shift along the freediver’s torso during descent and ascent.
If you have never used a Marseille belt, now is the time to try one!
Weight Belt Maintenance
To ensure long life and optimal performance from your elastic belt, it is important to take proper care of it. Here are some useful tips for weight belt maintenance:
- Rinse with fresh water: after every dive, rinse the belt with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or other residue. This will help prevent long-term damage or corrosion.
- Drying: make sure the belt is completely dry before storing it. Avoid leaving it in a damp place or exposed to direct sunlight, as this could reduce its lifespan.
- Inspect regularly: inspect the belt regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. If you notice any issues, replace the belt without delay to ensure your safety underwater.
In conclusion
Investing in a quality belt is an important step toward a better underwater experience. A high-quality weight belt will ensure your safety and provide excellent durability over time.
