Buttplate & Bungees
#BC2725
The Nomad Buttplate and Bungees allows divers who wish to transform their existing TransPac harness and buoyancy compensating wing into a rig capable of sidemounting tanks. The Nomad buttplate weaves through standard 2-inch harness webbing on the waist strap and is locked tight into place using stainless steel TransPac assembly screws through slots on the backplate. Once tanks are mounted on the buttplate, they are held in place by the Nomad tank bungees, which run from a D-ring or similar attachment point on the back of the upper shoulders to a standard shoulder D-ring on the front of the harness. BC2725 Buttplate and Bungees comes standard with our 13-inch bungees (not D-ring bungees) and tank chokers. Tank bungees are available in a variety of lengths, see Tech Specs for more info. Made in the U.S.A.
- Butt plate made of reinforced nylon to provide the proper amount of rigidity to hold tanks in position and eliminate sag.
- Two stainless steel handles are used for tank attachment, with a nylon webbing tail for attaching crotch strap. A stainless steel D-ring comes mounted on webbing for optional clip-off point for accessories, such as reels.
