    Hi,

    Thanks for posting. At this time, we carry standard size backplates in steel or aluminum. They are designed for divers typically up to 6'4" tall, however if you are taller or particularly long waisted you might need a longer plate for comfort and tank positioning.

    I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if I can help further.

    Best,
    Kathleen

    I have a SS plate from Dive Rite and it fits very well on me at 6'8". No problems getting at anything. If you are one of those tall folks that is all torso you might have an issue, but long arms help then too. Even the XL nomad fit me very well for my sidemount training. Very happy with all of my DR gear! Rare to find things that fit so well off the rack.
