Backplate and harness systems can offer a highly adjustable alternative for divers who struggle with the fixed sizing of traditional BCDs. For larger, tall, broad-chested and hard-to-fit divers, the ability to customize webbing length, shoulder placement, waist fit and attachment points can provide significantly more flexibility when building a comfortable buoyancy system.
This collection includes backplates, harnesses and related components that allow divers to configure their equipment around their individual fit and diving needs. Explore compatible buoyancy systems for bigger divers, weight systems for larger divers, and BCDs for big, tall and broad-chested divers if you are comparing different buoyancy-control options.
A backplate and harness system isn't automatically the right choice for every larger diver, but its adjustability can make it an excellent option when conventional BCD sizing is limiting. FGSS focuses on equipment that gives divers more ways to achieve a secure, comfortable and properly configured fit.
