Short Aluminum Backplate

#BC1034SHORT

DISCONTINUED: NOV 1, 2011

Sturdy, yet lightweight, our short backplate is ideal for petite women or any diver who is short-waisted. A full 2-inches shorter than a standard backplate, our short aluminum backplate won't dig into the lumbar area of the back and sits just where the shorter diver needs it - just below the waist.

Standard eleven-inch on center holes accommodate double tank bolt kits and holes along the perimeter of the plate allow for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags and other accessories. One-inch and two-inch slots along the bottom permit diver's choice of crotch straps. Two 3/8-inch slots along the bottom are designed to fit screws for attaching lift bag sleeves, sidemount butt plates or other accessories. Two-inch slots along the center allow single-tank divers to use cam straps without a single tank adaptor. All edges are beveled to eliminate sharp edges and prevent abrasion to [continued]

harness webbing. Hardcoate natural aluminum. Made in the U.S.A.

Note: Standard, 11-foot webbing harness using a grommet to match upper hole placement on the backplate will not align on the small backplate. The webbing actually weaves below the upper hole on the small backplate so that the grommet will not be needed and simply reside below the hole.

  • Natural hardcoat 5052 aluminum resists corrosion and abrasion. One-inch and two-inch slots permit diver's choice of crotch straps.
  • Holes along the perimeter of the plate allow for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags and other accessories.
  • All edges are smooth and rounded to eliminate sharp edges and prevent abrasion to harness webbing.
  • Two 3/8 slots along the bottom are designed to fit assembly screws for attaching accessories.
  • 13.5 inches tall x 10.5 inches wide (34.3 cm x 27cm)
  • 1.5 lbs (0.68kg)
  • To avoid unnecessary wear and tear, remove the metal plate from the wing for transport and do not carry a metal plate stuffed into a dive bag along with a wing and other soft goods.
