Inspired by Dave's vid, I've decided to go back to DNF. Being lazy I normally just hang my belt round my neck, which means that every time I move I get some lead swinging into my chin :blackeye ... So I went out today and bought some stuff to make the Chanel of all neckweights. Mind you, I didn't elect to purchase tungsten, so maybe it's merely Prada.

I need about 4.5kg (and maybe a small amount of weight round my waist as well) to be almost neutral with no suit and no packing. I was looking on here and people were suggesting about 1.5-2kg - it seems so variable! Out of curiosity, and maybe to cut down on a bit of trial and error when people start out, what combo of weights do people use? ie suit thickness, weight round the waist, weight round the neck?

Cheers from Down Under the water
