I was in the last batch of lucky Kraken owners. I had a LDS owner/Tech Diver help me with the harness setup. I've only had the dry fit up done, pool testing will come shortly. I have a few questions.
I currently do not have access to a metal back plate that is compatible with the regulator. For now I'm using an Oxycheq soft travel plate.
Would crossing the shoulder straps be beneficial with a soft plate? I remember reading about this on the VDH forum but my computer has become incompatible with the forum there.
While I wait for either the VDH Plate to become available again, or my number in line for a Freedom Plate to come up I was thinking of trying my hand at a one off plate using this:
Backplate Template
My thought was to make it flat, no breaks like a conventional back plate. Then add a cutout at the top similar to the VDH. I'm not trying to rip off anyone's design, I just have the material and equipment available to me right now.
Any suggestions?
