Tecline Aluminium MIDI Backplate 3mm (Weight 0.60 kg)

Compact ultralight technical backplate, ideal for divers between 150 and 170 cm tall and for travel.

The original Tecline MIDI Aluminum Backplate, available on DIR-STORE, combines the ergonomic design of a reduced wheelbase with the extraordinary lightness of anodized aluminum. With a thickness of 3 mm and a weight of only 600 grams, it is the perfect technical backplate for medium-small divers and for those who travel frequently by plane, as it minimizes baggage weight without sacrificing the robustness of a back-mounted buoyancy compensator.

Key Features and Benefits:

• MIDI Geometry for Short Torso: With an optimized height of 36.0 cm (compared to 39.5 cm for standard models), it perfectly fits divers between 150 and 170 cm tall, avoiding uncomfortable contact with the lower back or neck.
• Maximum Lightness for Travel: The structural weight of just 0.60 kg makes it the ideal choice for warm and tropical water diving, or for all situations where the intrinsic ballast of steel would be excessive (e.g., use with lightweight wetsuits).
• Anti-Corrosion Anodized Finish: The aerospace-grade aluminum surface undergoes a deep anodization process that protects it from saltwater aggression, scratches, and wear over time.
• Precision Chamfered Edges: The slots for the continuous harness webbing and the perimeter profiles are completely chamfered to eliminate any sharp edges, preserving the integrity of the wing and textile components.
