I'm 5'6" and the dog bone plate fits me perfectly.

I'd look at an OxyCheq "ULTP" or a OxyCheq "Dog Bone" plate, and a perhaps something like a 23# HOG wing (the dog bone and HOG 23# was my travel rig when I was travel diving single hose regulators).
Scratch that - the Oxycheq plate seems to be very difficult to find now - according to John at NESS they don't know when they'll be sending more. AFAIK Halcyon is the only game in town making a small size plate that you can get with any reasonable ease. Please post if you know of any others.
It is funny, both the Small and Medium OxyCheq hard plates are listed as 15" long. Seems surprising - i wonder what is differentI'd love a Freedom Plate, but I'm not clear on the wait to get one - seems substantial.
Thanks for the tip on the Oxy wing length. Going to try to grab VDH wing.
And for anyone else on a similar hunt, I did not realize, but Oxycheq makes a small size plate too, and it's $100+ cheaper than Halcyon. I'm going to try that and the Oxycheq ULTP to see which seems to work best for the little dude. Thanks again for all the help!
From what I heard, OxyCheq got clobbered by the hurricane in the fall and they are doing their best to get back to full operation.Scratch that - the Oxycheq plate seems to be very difficult to find now - according to John at NESS they don't know when they'll be sending more.
