You could try two ankle weights clipped together that divers use for dry suits. They're soft and filled w/ lead shot.

do it yourself!

You only have to find lead suitable for this. I have used lead grain (it might be some kind of junk).
You also need a bicycle inner tyre, mountainbike is better, two weightbelt weight stoppers and a weightbelt lock.
This picture does not have the stoppers, instead the tube ends are glued. But if you have the stoppers, you dont even need the glue.

I discovered this by myself on the occasion of a freeediving comp last month !

Up to now I tried 2 ankle weights which make 1 kg ; I am going to buy a second pair to reach 2 kg...
