This buckle is stainless steel with no plating and no plastic, and its friction bar design has nothing spring-loaded inside to seize with salt. Tension is held by the webbing wrapping the bar rather than by a mechanism, which means it behaves the same on a cold morning as on a warm one and can still be released with a gloved hand. It takes 50 mm webbing, so it serves as the waist buckle on a backplate harness or as the buckle on a plain weight belt, and many divers standardise on it across both so there is only one part to carry as a spare.

This open microfibre 3D mesh does the opposite: it drains as the kit comes out of the water and dries between dives, so the bag going home weighs roughly what it did on the way out. Structurally it does not compress at depth either, so the buoyancy of the rig stays where it was set at 5 m and at 40 m rather than shifting through the dive. It threads onto existing 50 mm webbing with no extra hardware, and it comes as a backplate pad alone, shoulder pads alone, or the full set, so an existing rig can be part-upgraded. The NX bottom backplate pad is a separate item, sized to the NX plate.

A pad there is the difference between a comfortable three-hour dive and one that ends because of the diver rather than the gas. This one is 3D mesh, which matters for two reasons: it drains and dries between dives rather than carrying water home in the bag, and it does not compress at depth, so the buoyancy of the rig does not shift as the dive gets deeper. It comes in S and L, sized to the NX plate rather than to the diver, so the size follows whichever plate is already owned. It fits NX plates only and will not sit correctly on the classic aluminium or stainless plates.

This set removes that: the Deluxe one piece webbed harness on a stainless steel backplate, with the WTX-D40T twin cylinder doughnut wing. On a twinset dive the doughnut shape stops air migrating side to side, so trim holds through a roll. On a drysuit dive the stainless plate carries roughly two kilos of ballast on the spine, straight off the weight belt. On a decompression stop the high profile dump valve vents without breaking position. The wing is cut to clear the manifold and the bands. Cylinders, regulators, wing bolts and tank bands are separate. Twinset diving is a trained configuration.
