Hollis ST Elite System - Stainless backplate

Hollis ST Elite System – Stainless backplate

The ST Elite combines a stainless steel backplate with the adjustable Elite 2 harness. It gives single-cylinder divers a wing setup with shoulder-strap adjustment and a sternum strap, bringing convenient fitting to a modular backplate system.

Features and benefits

Adjustable shoulder straps. Fine-tune the Elite 2 harness fit and loosen the shoulder straps when putting on or removing the system.
Configurable weight storage. Optional weight system. Add the listed weight system if it suits your ballast arrangement.
Stainless steel backplate. 304 stainless steel Backplate 2.0, 4 mm; Backplate Backpad 2.0 included forms a substantial foundation for the assembled system.
Durable construction. Construction uses 1680D laminated Cordura for protection against wear during diving and handling.

Fit and configuration

Select the appropriate size or harness adjustment for your body and exposure suit. Fit details: Adjustable shoulder straps and sternum strap within the selected harness size. Match lift and ballast capacity to the selected size and complete cylinder setup; these are separate from the BCD’s own dry weight.
