Apeks WTX Deluxe Harness With SS Backplate

The Apeks WTX Deluxe Harness with Stainless Steel Backplate forms the foundation of Apeks’ highly regarded WTX and WTX-D modular system, a platform designed to offer exceptional adaptability for divers across a wide range of disciplines. Built with versatility at its core, this system allows each component to be configured into a fully technical rig for divers trained to push their limits, or scaled down into a streamlined, travel-friendly setup suitable for recreational diving.

At the heart of this package is a simple yet exceptionally strong harness design, capable of supporting the weight and demands of a fully rigged technical diver. The Apeks WTX Deluxe Harness uses robust 2-inch webbing throughout, providing durability, stability, and long-term reliability in demanding dive environments. Its minimalist construction allows divers to customise the setup with their preferred hardware and accessories, ensuring a truly personalised configuration.

The included stainless steel backplate adds strength, balance, and inherent ballast to the system. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the backplate weighs approximately 5 lbs (2.2 kg), helping to reduce the need for additional lead while improving trim and stability underwater. Thoughtfully designed slot and hole placement allows for precise adjustment of buoyancy cells, cylinders, and accessories, making the system highly adaptable for different cylinder configurations and diving styles.

With multiple D-rings, elastic retainers, and neoprene shoulder protectors included, the Apeks WTX Deluxe Harness balances comfort with rugged performance. Whether used as the backbone of a technical setup or as a durable base for a simplified recreational configuration, this harness and backplate combination delivers the strength, flexibility, and modularity that Apeks is known for.
