H-shaped Padded Chest Protector MINI with Ball Pocket

Optimized comfort and an ultra-compact profile for reduced-size lightweight backplates.

The H-Plate Cover MINI, available on DIR-STORE, is the scaled-down version of the classic ergonomic softpad. Specifically designed to perfectly match the contours of MINI-sized "H" lightweight backplates (and compatible with small traditional plates), this accessory mitigates metal rigidity against the back and offers an aerodynamic, hidden housing for the signaling buoy (SMB).

Key Features and Benefits:

• Half-Sized MINI Geometry (<160 cm): Specifically shaped not to protrude beyond the edges of shorter backplates. It is the ideal accessory for divers of small stature, as it prevents the lower edge of the plate cover from hitting the lumbar area or buttocks, ensuring perfect horizontal trim.
• Ergonomic H-Cut: The skeleton structure follows the lines of the plate, leaving the shoulder blade area free. This design ensures exceptional torso torsional flexibility and total freedom of arm movement (3D Mobility) during valve drills.
• Soft and Breathable Technical Fabric: Made with lightweight, quick-draining materials that do not trap air bubbles inside, eliminating positive buoyancy variations. It effectively protects the wetsuit (wet or dry) from abrasions and premature wear caused by rubbing against steel or aluminum.
• Integrated Signal Buoy (SMB) Pocket: The back features a flat pocket designed to insert the dive marker or lift bag. This hidden placement frees the harness D-rings from dangling loads, reducing hydrodynamic drag and eliminating the risk of entanglement.

Available Configuration Options:

To immediately integrate with your current equipment, the H-MINI softpad can be ordered in two variants:

1. Version WITHOUT Bolts: The ideal choice if you already own the fastening screws or prefer to secure it using the harness straps themselves.
2. Version WITH Bolts Included: Supplied complete with a kit of flat-head screws (in stainless steel with dedicated nuts), designed to ensure solid, durable, and ultra-flat profile anchoring on the peripheral holes of the backplate.
