Highland Stainless Steel Backplate by XS Scuba: The Foundation of Your Technical Rig

The backplate is the core of your technical diving setup, and the Highland Stainless Steel Backplate by XS Scuba is built with precision and attention to detail. This isn't just a slab of metal; it's a thoughtfully designed foundation for your entire rig.

Made from 11-gauge (0.115 inch / 3 mm) 304 stainless steel, this backplate provides the necessary rigidity and support. Every edge is beveled to protect your harness and webbing from abrasion.

The design offers plenty of mounting options. Three holes at the top allow for height adjustment of your air cell and cylinders, and a lower oval slot accommodates misaligned bolts. Slots along the sides and bottom provide attachment points for accessories and a crotch strap (1" or 2"). And if you're diving single tanks, four upper and lower slots let you directly strap your cylinder to the plate, preventing any unwanted shifting.

Note: Hardware is not included.

Review by
beefy & ergonomic. highland millworks backplate fabricated from stainless steel 316 alloy, model HL801. used this as the core of my hogarthian doubles kit. using a set of highland millworks speed nuts, plus some 2" webbing and a deep sea supply 49# wing, this makes a tight little kit. i chose this over the OMS, halcyon, and deep sea supply plates for alloy and fabrication quality; over the HOG, hollis, and zeagle for shape. a couple notes about the plate:

1) it has a two-bend design that fits highland 7.25" bands perfectly
2) the shape of the recess, and sides fits inside DSS wings without pinching
3) this is a full 6# negative, unlike some similar plates on the market
4) all the holes/slots are 3/8th" diameter
5) plenty of room for soft weights between plate and wing with 7.25" bands
6) flat bottom corners are not a problem, you only need angled ones if obese.
