I bought this for my diving trips but I’d say it’s not the most practical due to its attachment options. Is there a simpler way to attach it to my wetsuit?

Thank you for reaching out about the anti-corrosion treatment options for the Mares Backplate Aluminum. Yes, our backplate is made from high-quality aluminum, which has undergone a thorough anodization process for added corrosion resistance. This process provides a durable, non-reactive coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion. Additionally, we recommend storing and rinsing the backplate after use to minimize exposure to corrosive substances. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team.

What’s the material used for the attachment options? Is it as lightweight as the 750g mentioned?

Thank you for your review of the Mares Backplate Aluminum. The backplate itself is indeed made of ultra-light aluminum, weighing in at 750g. As for the attachment options, they are also made from high-quality aluminum to match the backplate’s design. This ensures a strong and durable connection, while maintaining the overall lightweight feel of the product. I hope this answers your question.

This Mares backplate has exceeded my expectations! I was initially concerned about its price but it’s truly worth every penny! Can anyone confirm if there’s a Mares backplate version with even better weight distribution?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Mares Backplate Aluminum! We’re thrilled to hear that it has exceeded your expectations. While we don’t have a version with significantly better weight distribution, we can offer you some suggestions. Our backplate is designed to be ultra-lightweight, and the aluminum material helps to distribute the weight evenly. However, if you’re looking for an even lighter option, you might want to consider adding a lightweight wing to your setup. This could provide a more balanced feel and improve your overall diving experience. Would you like us to recommend some wing options that would complement your Mares backplate?
