DIR Harness with 6mm Stainless Backplate

Description

A twinset diver in a drysuit and thick undergarments can still need extra weight, and a heavier plate is the tidiest place to add it. This Tecline set builds the classic one-piece DIR harness, in standard webbing with movable D-rings, onto a full 6 mm stainless steel backplate of 4.20 kg without a logo, with a crotch strap, for a set weight of 5.0 kg. On a cold-water twinset the plate places that ballast directly behind the cylinders rather than on a belt or in pockets. For a single-cylinder diver at an inland dam, it moves weight off the belt and onto the back. The one-piece webbing is cut to fit one diver and has no quick adjustment at the shoulders. At this weight the set belongs in the car boot rather than in airline luggage. Divers over 170 cm are the ones Tecline design this 40 by 26 cm plate for. It suits a cold-water technical diver who wants the heaviest plate on a plain DIR harness.
