The XT Backplate Pad consists of molded foam contoured to prevent uncomfortable pokes and prods when wearing a metal backplate. Mesh airflow channels provide draining with rapid drying when out of the water and resist compression allowing the pad to maintain its thickness and comfort at depth. Using Velcro straps to secure to the shoulders of a harness, the XT Backplate Pad can be easily added or removed without the need to disassemble the harness and the pad will fit any standard backplate or harness.
