An evolved design based on the tried and true original.

Our laser-cut, CNC-deburred, and electropolished XT backplate were designed with rounded corners to prevent pressure points and snagging. Built-in holes for bungee allow divers to side-mount stage bottles without the need for modification, and slots for cam bands make it easy to carry a single tank with no need for an adapter. At 5.5 pounds, the XT backplate is perfect for diving with aluminum tanks, thick undergarments, or anywhere extra weight is needed.
