Complete DIR Technical Harness Backplate Set

The ultimate backplate configuration, ready-to-use and packed with accessories for maximum comfort.

This complete set available at DIR-STORE represents the perfect core for any back-mounted buoyancy system (wing and backplate). Unlike basic kits, this version includes important accessories focused on comfort and suit protection – such as the backplate cover pocket with dedicated hardware – while maintaining utmost adherence to the strict standards of cleanliness and safety of the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy.

What the Set Includes:

1. Backplate of Choice: Stainless Steel or Aluminum (3 mm)

The backbone of your modular system, shaped to accommodate single tanks or twin tanks with a standard 11-inch (280 mm) spacing:

• Stainless Steel Option (3 mm / ~2.00 kg): Ideal for those seeking absolute stability and optimally distributed fixed weight along the spine.
• Aluminum Option (3 mm / ~0.85 kg): The perfect choice for traveling divers, for those diving in warm waters, or for those who prefer an ultralight configuration.

2. DIR Continuous Harness (50 mm Black Webbing)

A single piece of very high-strength webbing, free of breaking points or quick-release plastic buckles. Ensures a clean hydrodynamic profile and total safety under stress.

• Positioning Hardware: Includes 5 stainless steel D-rings complete with their respective metal weight stoppers, ideal for impeccably positioning primary torches, backup regulators, pressure gauges, and stage tanks.
• Waist Buckle: Robust stainless steel quick-release buckle for a firm and secure waist closure.

3. Comfort Backplate Cover Pocket (Hardware Included)

An essential accessory for long dives. This padded back panel protects the suit (dry or wet) from direct abrasion against the metal backplate, increasing comfort on the back.

• Secure Fastening: Comes complete with 6 dedicated stainless steel and Delrin bolts for solid and durable anchoring to the perimeter holes of the backplate.
• Extra Use: Can also be used as a pocket to house the lift bag or surface marker buoy (SMB).

4. Crotch Strap (Technical Crotch Strap)

Vertical webbing that prevents the tank-wing assembly from sliding upwards during a roll or descent, also preventing lateral rolling. It is equipped with 2 D-rings: one front (specific for towing with a DPV/underwater scooter) and one rear for attaching secondary accessories or spools.

Why Choose This Complete Configuration?

• "All-Inclusive" Package: You won't need to purchase bolts, extra D-rings, or back padding separately; the kit contains everything needed to assemble a finished system.
• Hydrodynamics and Perfect Trim: Allows you to achieve a perfectly horizontal position in the water effortlessly, distributing loads evenly across the diver's center of gravity.
• Total Reliability: The absence of weak joints makes this system structurally indestructible, reducing potential failure points to zero.
