• Your choice of crotch strap with the harness:
  • The popular {1.5 in | 3.8 cm} Crotch Strap is noticeably more comfortable and with a side-release buckle is a welcome change from outdated traditions to the convenience of a crotch strap that can be adjusted on-the-fly. The {1.5 in | 3.8 cm} crotch strap uses a soft nylon webbing that measures {38 in | 97 cm} in length with a {2,200 lbs | 100 kg} tensile strength and weighs {3 oz | 85 g}.
  • The traditional {2 in | 5 cm| Crotch Strap has a sewn-loop and includes a neoprene sleeve to protect exposure suit from abrasion. The {2 in | 5 cm} nylon webbing crotch strap measures {42 in| 107 cm}in length, with 2,800 lbs tensile strength and weighs {6oz |170g}.

For single tank diving with Mares XR singles wing you will need to add two optional S/S cam buckle tank straps and an optional single tank adapter if you wish. The singles 22lb wing is perfect for { 7.25 in | 12 L } cylinders like the AL80 and HP100. The singles 34lb wing is the best choice for physically larger single tanks. The Donut or Horseshoe style wing is best suited to doubles and we do not recommend the use of the these wings with singles.

Aluminum backplates are the most popular with freshwater divers and divers using steel tanks. The { 2 lb | 0.9 kg } aluminum backplate has a durable anodized black finish. Compared to bare uncoated aluminum, the durable anodized aluminum finishes provide greater corrosion resistance and better consistency in appearance.

Stainless steel backplates are most popular with saltwater divers and divers using aluminum tanks and/or drysuits. The { 5 lb | 2.3 kg } stainless steel plates are polished, passivated, and given a matte finish. Passivation treatments improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming, machining or polishing.

NOTE: Only the Dive Rite branded backplate Pad is compatible with the DGX backplates

The DGX custom webbing harness systems do NOT come assembled as your personal sizing for the harness must be done during assembly.
