I am an \u201caverage\u201d size female skydiver, not too tall, not too short etc, and one of the most important skills I learned is to dress for success.

If you ever attended a big-way event you know that no matter how fast the briefings are conducted, you still spend significant time with your gear on. Why carry 3-5-8 kilos for more time than you could?<\/li><li>The attachment system is easy to use and the weight belt is connected directly on your rig, so you don\u2019t have any more that discomfort of having weights between your back and your rig. You can actually feel how comfortable the rig feels on your back \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;<\/li><li>There is no more \u201cshock\u201d on deployment for your spine, as the weight belt does not press on your back anymore. Deploying your canopy with a classic weight belt is not fun, especially if it\u2019s loaded. In time you can feel the physical stress you put on your back. For me, this aspect makes a huge difference. For example, at the last Fly It Forward event I was in the 42-way base in a 222-way formation. I usually started the day with 5 kg and ended it with 8 kg, just because I was getting tired and I needed more to control the occasional floating we had behind us. I wish I had this Weight Belt then\u2026<\/li><li>it\u2019s great to use for skinnier students in order to \u201cfixate\u201d the student gear, that can be quite large. The Belly Band can also be used for normal size students for the same purpose. I love that, because it gives me a bad feeling to see how a rig can \u201cdance\u201d on a skinny student\u2019s back, no matter how much you adjust the student harness<\/li><li>I am told it gives a snugger fit in head-up flying, although I didn\u2019t have the chance to try it yet in this scenario,&nbsp;<\/li><li>It can be used by the canopy pilots who want to increase their wing loading with the same benefits mentioned above\u2026<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, as a big-way flyer and an AFF instructor, I\u2019m sold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The most comfortable weight belt ever&#8221; <\/p><cite>Milko Hodgkinson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Milko-track-Aerodyne-Weight-Belt-FI.jpg 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Milko tracking away, wearing the Aerodyne weight belt \ud83d\ude42<br>Photo by Sobakin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to know more details you can check Aerodyne\u2019s site.
