Very comfortable, even during long dives—no uncomfortable pressure on my back. The backplate felt very secure with my double tank rig. Wish it came with a pad option, though.

The aluminium backplate is super light, which makes packing for trips a breeze. I love how stable my entire rig feels underwater, but I noticed a few minor scratches after my last dive. Still works perfectly though.
