The WTX and WTX-D Series is a selection of harnesses, buoyancy cells and accessories which offer unparalleled versatility due to the modular nature of the whole system. Each component can be configured into a highly technical rig for those trained to push the limits or scaled down to make a travel friendly set up suitable for any diver. The backbone of any system - this cleverly designed back plate can be used with the Apeks Deluxe One-Piece Webbed Harness or inserted directly into the WTX Harness (see SKU's; APXOPWH or APXWTXH). It is available both in stainless steel and aluminum.

Offered in either 304 stainless steel or 6061 anodized aluminum alloy, the stainless-steel weighs approx. 5 lbs (2.2kg) and the aluminum weighs approx. 1 lbs 11 oz. (753 g). Plates have 4 each upper and lower slots that accommodate nylon cylinder bands so a single cylinder can be strapped directly to the plate. Having a series of 4 slots provides lateral stability of the cylinder that traditional 2 slot plates cannot. 3 holes at the top of the plate offer a range of height adjustments for the buoyancy cells and the cylinders. In addition, a corresponding lower center slot allows for lower band bolts that are misaligned. Plates are equipped with a 2" (5.1cm) wide crotch strap slot. Upper and lower perimeter holes along either side and holes along the bottom allow for the mounting of accessories. Both offer an electro-plate finish and a laser-etched Apeks logo to enhance the look of the plate.
