Xdeep zen question.

[Boston Mckibben]

I do mostly colder water dives but occasionally will travel. For this I’m looking for recommendations on a steel backplate and a aluminum backplate that can use the same wing. I was originally going to use the xdeep zen then get a mares xr steel backplate to switch to when I am diving in cold water. Someone told me that xdeep wings won’t work with other backplates. Is this true and if so what do you recommend using.

Why not get the steel backplate from xDeep for that wing?

Traveling with a SS plate is no problem unless you're trying to include an unusual amount of other stuff in your luggage.

I would look at Sub Gravity. You get a choice of 3 backplates (2 stainless steel & an aluminum), 4 wings and 2 harness types. The Sub Gravity wings have a built in tank stabilizer, so they don't require a single tank adapter. Paragon Single Tank Package - Subgravity
