The Dive Rite Trans-Plate Harness is a hybrid harness designed for divers who want the support of a backpack-style harness for better weight load distribution, yet wish to dive a hard metal back-plate. Designed like a mountaineer's backpack, the Trans-Plate Harness disperses weight across the hips and back, minimizing shoulder strain. When used with a 6 lbs. (2.73 kg) steel back-plate, divers can remove or minimize weight pockets. Adjustable straps adapt to a wide variety of exposure suits and means easy donning and doffing. The modular design allows for customization with a wide variety of pockets and accessories.

The harnesses shoulder pads constructed of 1000-denier ballistic nylon fabric for tear and abrasion resistance. 2" (50mm) nylon webbing rated at 7,000 lbs. (3,182 kg) breaking strength forms the shoulder straps and waist strap. Four 2" (50mm) D-rings on each shoulder strap are slightly bent for improved access and placement can be adjusted. Note: size medium has only one 2" (50mm) D-ring per shoulder strap due to space limitations. Marine grade 316-stainless-steel hardware is used throughout including: in addition to the (2) bent D-rings on each shoulder strap there are (2) waist D-rings, XT chest plates, belt buckle, cam strap buckles, and side plates.

The shoulder straps feature pivot rings at chest-level for comfort, fit, and load distribution. Acetyl resin engineered plastic "squeeze-style" quick-release buckles on shoulders for easy doff and don. 1" (25mm) nylon webbing rated at 2,200 lbs. (1,000 kg) breaking strength and a Delrin 1" (25mm) squeeze-style quick-release buckle is used for a chest strap. Marine grade stainless-steel base plates allow for proper placement of shoulder straps. Plates can be moved forward-or-backward on the waist strap to get the best fit and performance. Harness comes with an owner's manual, is available in multiple sizes, weighs from 39 oz. to 48 oz. (1,106 to 1,361 g) depending on size and is proudly made in the U.S.A.
