Two separate parts of a scuba helmet are the backplate (wing) and the wing (wing). Both are attached to a buoyancy compensationator which creates buoyancy below and above water. Backplate, wing, and the rest of the system are modular. Each piece can be removed from the others. They can be a great choice for divers who don't know which type to choose. These are the pros & cons of each.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel back plate and wings are available with or without a harness. For the wings and backplate, 316 stainless-steel will be used. It is extremely saltwater resistant. The backplate is cut with a CNC cutter and polished manually in order to prevent sharp edges from prematurely wearing the strap. They can also be used in conjunction with single-air-tank or dual air-tank systems. You can remove the stainless steel wings and backplate for easy storage.
Aluminium backplates weigh more than stainless steel. Stainless steel backupplates are perfect for colder environments, as they'll help reduce the weight of your diving gear. Stainless steel backplates fit all types of dive tanks better than lead pieces. A Halcyon Dealer can offer weighting advice to help determine what size is best for you. This backplate will also last longer, so you don't have to replace it as often.
Plastic
While the buoyancy of the plastic back plate and wing is negative, it is still advantageous when replacing the weight on the weightbelt. Jacket BCDs also have features such as pockets and weight integration. These ancillary features are not available for the backplate or wing system. These components can also be bought separately. These components can be purchased separately. This article will explain the pros and disadvantages of each. It is vital to select the right backplate for your needs.
Softpack harness
There are many different types of wings and back plate harnesses. The most popular are wing BCDs (backplates) and wing plates. These include the necessary components such as the backplate, wing and harness. They allow for customization of the harness with many adjustable features. Softpack BCDs can be used by technical divers because they are lightweight and flexible, and don't attach to any rigid plates.
Steel backplate harnesses are not adaptable. The harness is not designed to work with single tanks and is only suitable for double tanks with permanent bands. Although the steel harness is the strongest option, it is cumbersome to use while traveling. In addition, it is only suitable for double tanks, and the steel backplate may be unsuitable for use on land. Although it can be used with single tanks by attaching adapters this is not recommended.
