Hi all,
I’m sure this has been asked already so sorry I’m advance. I am looking at getting my girlfriend a backplate that actually fits her. She is about 5’1” on a good day and very small build. A standard backplate litteraly take up her whole back and she find the bottom of the plate digs into her lower back when standing/sitting out of the water especially with doubles. It was mentioned to me that there are some size small backplates out there but I have noticed there hard to come by. Seems DSS is not making them anymore Oxcheq only makes stainless or the plastic hybrid thing that I’m not to sure about especially for doubles. All I have found is that Halcyon makes an aluminum size small but it’s about twice the price of a regular backplate.
Does anyone know of another manufacturer that makes size small aluminum (we travel a lot and mostly just dive warm water SS is not very travel friendly) backplate?
Thanks
