This Scubatech backplate is cut from 3 mm stainless steel and weighs about 2.1 kg, so part of the diver's weighting moves onto the back instead of sitting on the hips. On cold inland dives in a drysuit, weight high on the back is something many divers use to fine-tune a horizontal position for a long swim along a wall. With a steel cylinder in warm water, it may be more weight than needed, and an aluminium plate is the lighter choice. The plate has slots for a continuous-webbing harness and single-cylinder bands, which are sold separately along with the wing. It suits a diver building a backplate and wing rig who wants extra weight on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: about 2.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarness, wing and cylinder bands: sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStainless steel backplate\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCUBATECH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67575291707705,"sku":"35017-2","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1730\/8473\/files\/Backplate-_E2_80_93-Stainless-3mm-21kg.jpg?v=1790775430","url":"https:\/\/scubaevolution.co.za\/products\/scubatech-stainless-steel-backplate-3mm","provider":"Scuba Evolution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
