Description
A backplate is the rigid base of a wing and harness system, and this one is made from 5052 aluminium plate with a black anodised finish for extra protection. It weighs 0.74 kg, which keeps the style of a traditional backplate but is much lighter than steel, so it suits travelling and divers who do not need a great deal of trim weight. Aluminium also makes the harness setup less negatively buoyant, which helps when wearing a buoyant wetsuit or drysuit. A lower spine slot improves compatibility, so most wings for single or twin cylinders can be fitted. Spine grommet positions are 15 mm, 33 mm and 50 mm from the top of the plate, with a 295 mm to 347 mm range listed for the lower slot.
