Proper weaving of cam straps through BP

[ae3753]

It would make sense that outer slots are for independent doubles.

As Mattboy states, the inner+outer slots allows you to weave a wing onto the backplate, and hold it in place with the cam bands.

See the Dive Rite Transpac or Zeagle Ranger or Jet Harness.

I've yet to see a STA-less BP/wing set-up that had the same rock-solid stability of one that uses a STA.

Golem 35 with the built in STA is nice.

But it's not STA-less

I regularly dive an Al80 on a Dive rite plate. I stopped using an STA 2 years ago because it did not give me any advantage. Far from being more stable I did once have the wing nut come loose and have the tank feel very insecure!

DSS and HOG setups do not require an STA. That is good for us with some mobility issues in the shoulder area. I don;t want my tank further away from my back. Along with it being more difficult to reach the valve it puts the center of gravity higher. To me an STA would seem to make everything less stable. I want the tank right on my back. With the DSS setups it feels like a part of me.

actually it is.
there is no STA. There are rubber stabiliser rods sewn into the wing that hold the tank in place.
You can also use our reverse profile backplate that holds the tanks rock-solid and as close to your back as possible.
