DiveRite Backplate Stainless Steel - Short

The Dive Rite Stainless Steel XT Short Backplate is meticulously engineered for divers with shorter torsos, offering a compact and ergonomic solution without compromising on strength or compatibility. Crafted from 10-gauge, low-carbon 316L stainless steel, this backplate provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both recreational and technical diving environments.

Key Features:

• Optimized Dimensions: Measuring 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) in height and 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) at its widest point, the short design is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) shorter than the standard model, ensuring a better fit for divers with shorter torsos.
• Contoured Comfort: The 1.25-inch (3.2 cm) deep "V" contour allows the plate to sit flatter against the back, enhancing comfort and stability during dives.
• Robust Construction: Laser-cut and hand-finished edges prevent damage to harness webbing and exposure suits. The electropolished finish not only adds aesthetic appeal but also enhances corrosion resistance.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed with 11-inch (27.9 cm) on-center mounting holes, it accommodates standard double tank bolt kits. Additionally, two sets of 2-inch slots along the center channel allow for cam strap integration for single tank setups without the need for a single tank adapter.
• Harness Integration: Features multiple 2-inch harness webbing slots, making it compatible with Dive Rite's Basic, Deluxe, or Transplate harness systems.
• Weight: Weighing in at 5.4 lbs (2.45 kg), it provides a balanced distribution of ballast weight, reducing the need for additional weights.
