    Installing replaceable silicone or latex seals on a wetsuit

    Do I need an STA

    Is it always necessary to use an STA with a backplate? The STA displaces the tank away from me and with my Fred T. backplate(6 lbs) that is all I need nowadays for weight. Will the tank straps endure a lot of wear without the STA? Thanks Mike
