XS Scuba Highland Aluminum Backplate, Black

Highland by XS Scuba's Aluminum Backplate is made from durable and corrosion resistant 6061 aluminum alloy with black anodized finish. Backplate weighs in at 1.7 lbs (770g). To protect the harness webbing, the aluminum backplate has beveled edges for smooth slots and holes to protect the harness webbing. The 3 holes at the top of the plate offer variable height adjustment for air cell and cylinder mounting. In addition, a corresponding lower oval slot allows for lower band bolts that may be misaligned. Slots at bottom for use with 1 or 2" (2.5 or 5.1cm) crouch straps. For attachment of accessories the backplate has 3/8" (9.5mm) accessory mounting holes along both sides. There is no need for a separate backplate when switching from doubles to a single cylinder set up. Backplate has cam band slots for single tank diving without the need for a single tank adapter. There are 4 upper and lower slots to accommodate nylon cylinder bands so a single cylinder can be strapped directly to the plate. Having 4 slots provides stability and prevents cylinder swinging. Hardware not included.
