> Dive Rite Nomad XT Sidemount BC

Built with the explorer in mind, the new Nomad XT Sidemount system is made with a super-tough exterior engineered using SuperFabric® brand technology for optimum resistance to punctures and abrasions, while remaining very flexible. In addition to its rugged exterior, the Nomad XT has the added benefit of being a modular system: the harness, wing, buttplate and crotch stap are all separate elements. This allows the traveling explorer (or any diver wishing to modify their rig) the ability to trade out wings, remove the buttplate or make any fit adjustments necessary to meet the objective of the dive mission.

The Nomad XT Sidemount system comes assembled and includes a TransPac harness, Nomad XT wing with a 16-inch corrugated hose, a plain elbow, a 22-inch low pressure BC inflation hose, and a 2-inch crotch strap, plus two 13-inch (15-inch on the XXL size) bungees w/medium snaps and chokers. If you would like alternate length changes to the hoses or bungees please describe the desired configuration changes in the special instructions box at checkout.

The Nomad EXP is a value engineered version of the Nomad, constructed as a one piece non-modular harness, soft backplate, butt plate and wing.

The tough abrasion resistant ballistic nylon outer shell is black color with gray side panels.

The Nomad EXP comes standard with a 16-inch corrugated hose, a plain elbow, a 22-inch low pressure BC inflation hose, and a 2-inch crotch strap, plus two 13-inch (15-inch on the XXL size) bungees w/medium snaps and chokers.

> Nomad XT Wing

The Nomad XT wing, with 60lbs/27 kg of lift, has a super-tough exterior engineered using SuperFabric® brand technology for optimum resistance to punctures and abrasions, while remaining very flexible. The very compact design, that minimises lift at the neck, also makes the Nomad XT perfect as an extended range diving aircell. Streamlining is achieved by assembling the Nomad XT with the standard TransPac harness along wing keepers that hold the wing low across the back to reduce drag. Proper trim comes from the longer wing and a Gusset Control System (GCS) cord that is woven through tabs on the front face of the wing. The GCS cord is positioned on the upper portion of the wing, forcing the lower part of the wing to inflate preferentially, keeping lift around the divers hips where it is needed. The 15-mil urethane bladder is abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and resists the growth of microorganisms. The Nomad XT wing comes standard with a 12-inch corrugated hose, a plain elbow, a 15-inch low pressure BC inflation hose. Please note that the Nomad XT wing is specifically designed for use with the Dive Rite TransPac harness and soft backplate system.

Available as an option, the dual upgrade incorporates two bladders to provide back-up inflation. The dual bladder wings offer the same versatility and lift capacity of the single bladder wings.

> Nomad XT Butt Plate and Bungee Set

The modular Nomad XT Buttplate and Bungees allows divers who wish to transform their existing TransPac harness into a rig capable of sidemounting primary supply tanks. The buttplate weaves through standard 2-inch harness webbing on the waist strap. It includes stainless steel assembly screws for securing buttplate to the TransPac soft backplate. Available with or without a pair of bungees and chokers. To make your configuration truly streamlined for sidemount you will also need to add the XT Nomad Sidemount Wing.

Once tanks are clipped to the buttplate rails, they are held in place by the Nomad tank bungees, which run from a small D-ring on the back of the TransPac upper shoulders to a standard shoulder D-ring on the front of the harness.

> Tech Butt Plate and Bungee Set

If you would like to sidemount stage and bailout cylinders with backmount doubles or rebreather, add a sidemount buttplate to your backmount harness using the Tech Buttplate. The shorter tech buttplate's rectangular shape places tank attachment points out from under backmount gear and closer to the edge of the diver's body with the rail facing outwards on the plate, making it easier to find and clip. The Tech Buttplate works great for diving from boats and for use with rebreathers. The Tech Buttplate is made of reinforced nylon to provide the proper amount of rigidity to hold sidemount tanks in position and eliminate sag with two stainless steel handles used for tank attachment. It includes stainless steel assembly screws for securing buttplate to metal backplate or TransPac soft backplate. (Buttplate has an 8-inch center to center measurement between the outside grommet holes.) Available with or without a pair of bungees and chokers.

Nomad Weight Plate

Nomad divers who need to add weight to their rig will want the new Nomad Weight Plate. Designed to hold up to 16lbs of weight in four separate pockets, the Nomad Weight Plate attaches to the back of the Nomad using the existing grommets in the backplate. Two stainless steel assembly screws are included. Formed in the shape of the backplate and with dimensions of 8.5" x 14", it lies flat and isn't felt by the diver. The outside of the plate is covered with new, SuperFabric® brand material, a flexible, yet abrasion and puncture resistant material, which provides superior wear and tear protection. The grommets of the plate measure at 11.5-inches center-to-center, giving an extra 0.5-inch of spacing as compared to the grommets of the Nomad backplate. This allows the plate to align once it is filled with weight as the extra length is absorbed as the plate "thickens".
