Scuba Force has a back plate and wing that would suit you perfect! Its a completely different design that performs the same function as a standard back plate. The plate is cut for comfort, we offer standard weight in Stainless , and a heavy plate for those that need a bit more weight.Hey SB. Right now I'm AOW, with only about 20-25 dives under me most of which have been in a quarry. My current bcd is an older Cressi air back inflate that I loathe. I do like the back inflate vs jacket bcd, but I really want to go bp/ w when I get a new set up. (Also converting my regs to longhose, because it just makes more sense to me than the traditional rec config.)
My main question is, I'm 5'6", but weigh about 225. And my body shape is smaller diameter legs and arms, but barrell shaped torso. How comfortable is a bpw for someone built like this? (Side note, I've lost about 25 lbs recently, and hope to continue, but want to make sure that my rig is comfortable in the meantime.) Also, I'm looking more toward the single webbing strap dir or hog style setup instead of something like a transplate. I'm mainly looking at the Basic Harness.
Any info or advice would be appreciated. Tia.
Is it the black devil plate? I like the looks of that one..Scuba Force has a back plate and wing that would suit you perfect!

The cut of the plate also promotes a less restrictive design for people that are not as flexible.
