What makes the Scubapro X-TEK Aluminium Backplate so durable? Does the lightweight material compromise its strength?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Leila. The Scubapro X-TEK Aluminium Backplate is indeed designed to be durable, despite its lightweight material. The aluminium alloy used is a high-grade type that provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it perfect for scuba diving. Additionally, the special black coating adds an extra layer of protection against scratches and corrosion. The weight of 2lbs/0.9kg is actually a result of the material’s efficiency, not a compromise on strength. We’ve had many customers use the X-TEK Back Plates for extended periods without experiencing any issues. Would you like to know more about the material or its durability?

Thank you for your review of the Scubapro X-TEK Aluminium Backplate, Zulfiqar Ali! We appreciate you bringing up your question about compatibility issues with tank harnesses. To ensure a safe and comfortable fit, we recommend choosing a tank harness that is specifically designed for the Scubapro X-TEK Aluminium Backplate.
