BACKPLATE - STAINLESS STEEL

All Dive Rite backplates are laser cut and individually finished by hand.

This attention to detail ensures that there will be no rough, jagged edges that could potentially damage harness or accessory webbing. The XT backplate uses an 11 gauge, low carbon and rust resistant 316 L grade stainless steel. Weighing in at 6.5 pounds (2.9 kg), stainless steel plates are a popular option for divers looking for a more even distribution of ballast weight.
