Harness recommendation.

[MaxE]

I need to get a harness for an aluminum backplate I got. I have a steel plate that will remain my primary set up but wanted another lighter option. I have seen a HOG option, and a light monkey about the same price. Deep6 has an option but not sure on the coated webbing, VDH is currently not available. Then it seems the price jumps. Any recommendations, or exerience with the above options?

Check out both Dive Gear Express and Piranha Dive Manufacturing.Both offer great products for a fair price and excellent service as well.

Dive Rite basic harness is good and cheap at about $44.00. I use it on my AL plate as well. It does not include a crotch strap though

Id just buy the parts from DGX and put one together myself.

Not sure what your including, I get pretty close to your price until I add a crotch strap. Then about the same as the kit prices.

That’s where I was at, the 2 inch crotch strap is like 19.99 or something so pretty close to $45 that the kits are at with hunger and some other random parts, a toss up in my book.

Dive gear express had some OMS for cheap in their blow out section

I use halcyon webbing $25 + DGX parts. The DGX webbing is not as soft as Halcyon but its quite close and you cant beat the price.
