Speaking of options, I now have a transplate with aluminum backplate and of course I love it more than the transpac. I had thought about using the transpac for singles, leaving the weight pockets on it and cam straps and on the transplate using it just for doubles so I wouldn't need weight pockets or cam straps. You can buy a converter bar to thread the cam straps through so that all you would have to do to use the plate for singles is to attach the bar(with the cam straps already in place). I discovered; however, that the travel wing that I have on my transpac was made for a transpac only so I would have to buy a singles wing. Since you have dove a transpac and a plate, do you think I would like the plate that much better with a single to invest in the converter bar and a singles wing?
