Stainless Steel Backplate 6mm

Description

Cold-water divers in thick undersuits often carry more lead than they would like, and a plate that weighs twice as much as the usual 3 mm steel moves a large share of it onto the back. Tecline's 6 mm stainless steel backplate weighs 4.20 kg and keeps the standard 40 by 26 cm outline, the size Tecline recommend for divers over 170 cm. It is a plain plate with no logo cut-out. For a drysuit diver on a single aluminium cylinder, the heavy plate can replace a large part of a weight belt. On a steel twinset in winter, it adds ballast right behind the cylinders instead of on a belt. The same weight is a burden out of the water and in airline luggage, so it suits a rig that travels by car. Harness, wing and hardware are not included. It suits a cold-water diver who wants the heaviest plate in the Tecline range.
