Re: lead weight question
For us of less average weight...(mostly gristle and sinew)

Aluminum 80, Jacket style BC, 3 mil shorty, salt water =  5lbs lead

Aluminum 80, AL Back Plate and wing, 5 mil wet suit, fresh water = 8lbs lead

For reference. When I snorkel in the ocean I can hover at 12 feet without weight so it's a huge range.

I'm 5'11" and 150 maybe 145.
Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you.
