Backplates/Harnesses

 
   
Dive Rite's line of harnesses allow you to custom fit stainless steel or aluminum backplates to fit your various diving needs. Harnesses are designed with waist, shoulder D-rings, and a quick release chest strap and can have any of Dive Rite's BC accessories or cutting devices affixed to them.

Backplates are available in aluminum or polished stainless steel. While stainless steel backplates are among the most popular, some divers who require a small amount of weight to be added to their configuration prefer an aluminum backplate. Saltwater divers often prefer stainless backplates for their resistance to corrosion and the fact that they are several pounds more negatively buoyant, which helps offset the additional buoyancy of saltwater.

*All Harnesses can be configured with an optional crotch strap.

     HARNESS - BACKPLATE - DELUXE

    Model Number:  BC1080 $53.76

     


    The Deluxe harness incorporates shoulder-strap pivot rings and a chest-strap. This configuration creates a harness with shoulder straps that are parallel over the shoulders and lay flat across the rib cage. This harness configuration reduces the chance of cut-off circulation to the shoulders by allowing the webbing to lay flat across the shoulders and better distribute the weight of the tanks, this also increases comfort. The chest strap insures that the shoulder straps remain properly positioned. Choose one of our optional crotch straps to complete this harness.
