Concept II bladder

[Gnashrak]

Is it possible to use the Concept II bladder on a backplate for a single tank?

I understand I will have to find a way to tie the extra fabric on top and on the side of the bladder so it don't float around but it looks possible to tie the bladder to the backplate with the tanks straps. That would leave a more streamlined BC and help me get rid of 6 lbs of weight + having a crotch strap.

Yes...it is possible.

The bladder should match up with the holes on a Zeagle BP, no problem.

Our harness system comes with side clips, so that you can clip down the little wings on the side of the BC, and you can try running the harness through the shoulder piece of the bladder to hold it down.

Thanks,

Scott

Is the tank going to be stable on the backplate? Should I use the rubber pieces between the backplate and the tank to stabilize like the config on the Concept II or strap the tank directly on the backplate?

Most people do not use the rubber pieces when putting it ona backplate.

Is the concept2 44lb bladder compatible with the Express Tech soft backplate?

I don't see why it couldn't be used, but you will have to live with the side "winglets" being unclipped on the bladder.
