A hybrid harness designed for divers who want the support of a backpack-style harness for better weight-load distribution, yet wish to dive a hard metal backplate. Designed like a mountaineer's backpack, the TransPlate harness disperses weight across the hips and back, minimizing shoulder strain. When used with a 6-pound steel backplate, divers can remove or minimize weight pockets. Adjustable straps adapt to a wide variety of exposure suits and means easy donning and doffing. The modular design allows for customization with a wide variety of pockets and accessories. The TransPlate is designed to be used with any wing, except the Travel Wing, in the Dive Rite line. Available in sizes M-XXL. Made in the U.S.A. Please note: Stainless steel and/or aluminum backplate, and cam straps are sold separately.
