Tnanks Zef (and wife). The new plate sits well doesn't it! I did wonder if the crossed straps would be a better option for those of us with narrow shoulders. I'll be interested to know if that's more comfortable for her, when you get to re-threading it. Jane.
Hi Zef, as a point of interest, what is the length and width of your DiveRite SS backplate? There seems to be no data anywhere about backplate sizes. Seems to be an industry secret!! Cheers
Zef, that kit your wife is wearing looks huge to me! Admittedly she's an inch taller, but I simply don't wear full sized cylinders if I can possibly avoid it; 12l dumpy for me. Fortunately I don't consume a lot of air, so that's plenty!
D-fresh - thank you for your advice too.
I'll be back!
Thank you. I was interested specifically in the peanut because of it's lift capacity in relation to it's size. At the moment in my (stupid) aeris which I've struggled with for 8+ years, I am swamped by 'bladder' and impenetrable pockets on the surface, and faffing around trying...
If I knew how, I'd try and overlay your backplate image onto this picture to see if it lines up!
You're right that the slots are not long, but their position is clearest on this camo style
No need to be sorry! I appreciate your guidance. Am I to assume that adding a STA might overcome the problem if the slots don't line up? (I can't quite picture it)
That helps enormously. Thank you! 2 tank straps would definitely be my choice. I'll take a closer look at the Peanut slots. If only they supplied measurements like your helpful pictures above! Thank you Zed
I've just seen that Subgravity also sell harness sliders so that answers that question, and research told me the short 3mm ss backplate is 1.78kg, so that's those 2 questions answered! II'm still not clear about the STA and whether the Tecline Peanut 16 will measure up to fit backplates by...
Hi Zef, I believe this is what I'm looking for. I'm 5'1" 120lb and looking to go from an ill-fitting 'woman's cut' BCD to a BP/W. After hours and hours researching, I have realised that even the BP/W option needs customising for a small lady!
I have been looking at the Tecline Peanut 16...
Hi! I'm Jane, live in Norfolk UK, and wanted to join Scubaboard specifically because there is a thread on here about a product I'm interested in purchasing. So I'll be heading over to that thread to see if I can glean more information!
Happy Diving :-)
