The Backplate Lumbar pad is designed for use with hard metal backplates. It alleviates pokes and prods from the plate into the soft area of the back and protects the exposure suit from possible bolt snags.
The Backplate Lumbar Pad attaches securely to any hard backplate by threading the shoulder straps through webbing loops at the top of the pad. The lower portion of the pad attaches through the crotch strap slot with a webbing loop.
A quick release buckle allows the pad to be lifted away from the plate for easy access to bolts when diving double tanks. Open-cell porous design allows the pad to release water and dry quickly, plus it resists compression allowing the pad to maintain its thickness and comfort-providing shape at depth.
Quick-dry fabric and drainage holes quickly release water and aid in drying.
