Steel Backplate Set with Adjustable Quick-Release Harness

The Tecline QR (Quick-Release) set, available at DIR-STORE, is the ideal solution for divers seeking the excellent hydrodynamics and perfect buoyancy control typical of a technical system (Wing and Backplate), without sacrificing the donning convenience of a traditional BCD. Thanks to the quick-release buckles positioned on the shoulder straps, this kit allows you to put on and take off your gear in an instant, even in awkward situations or on board RIBs and boats.

What the Set Includes:

1. 3mm Stainless Steel Backplate

The backbone of the system, solid and indestructible. Made of marine-grade stainless steel to resist salt water corrosion, it serves as excellent fixed ballast (weight ~2 kg) evenly distributed along the body. All edges and slots are carefully smoothed to prevent fabric damage.

• Hole Spacing: Standard 11 inches (28 cm), compatible with all technical wings on the market.

2. Tecline QR (Quick-Release) Adjustable Harness

An advanced hybrid system offering total and precise body adjustment. It adapts instantly whether you're wearing a summer wet suit or a winter dry suit with heavy undergarments.

• Quick-Release (QR) Buckles: Positioned on the shoulder straps, they are made of high-strength technopolymer. They allow the harness to be fully opened with a single press, simplifying doffing in water or on the surface.
• Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with D-rings and corresponding metal weight retainers on the shoulders and waist strap, perfect for securing regulators, primary lights, pressure gauges, and stage cylinders.
• Crotch Strap: Features a robust stainless steel webbing buckle for secure waist tightening.

3. Crotch Strap

A key element for hydrodynamic stability. It prevents the backplate-wing assembly from sliding upwards during vertical ascent or descent, also eliminating lateral tank roll. It comes complete with a front D-ring (for DPV towing) and a rear D-ring for a SMB or backup reels.

Why choose the Tecline QR system?

• Comfort and Operational Ease: It's the perfect choice for those who do repetitive dives, for dive guides and instructors who need to don and doff frequently, or for those with reduced shoulder mobility who struggle to put on old-style continuous harnesses.
• Hydrodynamic Trim: Allows you to maintain a perfectly horizontal position in the water (trim), reducing finning effort and optimizing gas consumption.
• Total Modularity: The kit is ready to be paired with any Tecline series or compatible donut/wing, perfectly adapting to both single-tank and light twin-tank configurations.
