XS Scuba Highland SS Backplate

Available in either 11-gauge (.115 in / 3 mm), 304 stainless steel or 5052 aluminum alloy with black anodized finish. The stainless weighs approx. 5 lbs (2.3 kg) and the aluminum weighs 1.7 lbs (770 g). All edges are beveled to protect the harness. 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” crotch strap. 3/8” accessory mounting holes along the sides and bottom. 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”.
