Hardware fold plate sidemount

The Hardware Fold Plate is a shaped (folded) technical plate specifically designed to enhance the configuration of Side Mount systems. This hardware component is installed directly onto the harness (in the lumbar or back area) to create solid, stable, and raised attachment points compared to the webbing, optimizing the management of accessories or weighting systems.

Key Features and Design:

• Folded Design: The particular fold of the plate is designed to slightly distance the anchor points from the diver's body or the wing. This design facilitates the insertion of weights, the passage of extra webbing, or the quick attachment of carabiners even in conditions of reduced visibility or with thick gloves.
• Marine Stainless Steel: Made entirely of high-quality stainless steel, it guarantees absolute structural strength under load and total resistance to corrosion and rust caused by salt water.
• Precision Slots: It features calibrated slots and passages to perfectly accommodate the standard 50 mm harness webbing, ensuring a firm mounting without accidental slippage during the dive.

Advantages in Side Mount:

• Advanced Modularity: Allows for the configuration or repositioning of rigid weight blocks (lead) or the mounting of additional weight pockets in the posterior-central area, improving the center of gravity and horizontal trim.
• Extra Attachment Points: It can be used as a solid base for attaching heavy accessories, light canisters, or for creating reinforced passages for cylinder retention bungees.
• Maximum Streamlining: Despite its rigidity, it maintains a flat profile that adheres to the system, reducing overall bulk and minimizing the risk of snagging in confined environments such as caves and wrecks.
  

Target Users:

An essential component for technical Side Mount divers and cave divers who like to customize and assemble their own harness, or who need a robust and durable replacement part to optimize the distribution of weights and anchor points on their jacket.
