Apeks Stainless Steel BackPlate
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 backplate can be used with the Apeks Deluxe One-piece Webbed Harness or inserted directly into the WTX Harness. It is available both in stainless steel and aluminium.
Apeks Stainless Steel BackPlate Features
- Offered in either 304 stainless steel or 6061 anodized aluminium alloy.
- The stainless steel weighs approx 5 lbs (2.2 kg).
