DiveRite wings will work well with any backplate. DiveRite wings are a single-piece fabric. They are supported in place either by the entire twin tank profile of your doubles, or else by your STA for a single tank. Assemble the plate and harness, then lay the wing fabric on top of the plate, then attach the STA or the doubles.

You may also want to get a stainless steel bolt snap with a ring-base large enough to comfortably fit your thumb through (with your gloves on) to attach to the end of the inflator hose, so that you can clip it to a D-ring on your harness. This would be a large bolt snap. That way your inflator hose does not flop around or get lost, and when you unclip it, you have complete freedom of movement, to elevate it when you are in a horizontal position.

LOL - but at least you'll be a well-equipped hobo.

FWIW - I own several BP/wing rigs, and they're all mismatched.

I only have one backplate that I switch between my different rigs, but my 3 wings and backplate that are all made by different manufacturers... Abyss, Halcyon, Oxycheck, and DiveRite.
