Significantly lighter than contemporary backplates, with a solid carbon fiber construction that doesn’t compromise on strength.
Where a standard backplate might weigh 2.7kg for a steel model, or 1kg for an aluminum version, the new Halcyon carbon fiber backplate clocks in at just around 0.5kg. This new backplate built of the modern material is a welcome reduction in the weight needed to travel with, but you’ll have to compensate for your underwater buoyancy in other ways.(trim weight pockets, V weight pouch)
Halcyon carbon fiber backplate has two versions, a standard backplate and a ‘deluxe’ version with integrated single tank adapter and strap cinches.
