If then, is there any size issue of backplate? How tall are you?

Their website argues,

"We only make one size plate because we found that by adding an extra set of adjustment holes and also adding an extra small bend at the bottom of our plate allows the plate to comfortably fit people from about 5 foot to about 6'6". My Daughter is just a hair over 5' tall and has comfortably used my plate."

However, I am sure if it is really fine with 5.6' tall. Please let me know your insight.

Thanks in advance,

I'm 5'7" ,the plate fits me fine. I don't know if there might be some trim issues with taller people.
 
Does anyone know if the oms, halcyon or any other backplate pad (the ones with liftbag pocket) will align with the holes in the hammerhead plate?
 
The Halcyon MC pack will fit the Hammerhead plate perfectly if you give the Hammerhead guys a template of the Halcyon mounting holes. Way easier for them to drill it out.
 
I'm 6'1" and it works great for me...complete balance under water...and yes, customer service was excellent!
 
I'm 6'-2" 205 lbs and it works great. No size issue whatsoever. Very comfortable and well made. I made the mistake of ordering the one piece sta when I actually wanted the two piece. I shipped it back, they exchanged it in three days, and even paid the shipping cost.
Amazing and it was my error , not theirs.
You just don't find that kind of customer service anymore.

That won't do me much good as I've had the plate for a while now
