The Standard Harness from Dive Rite has been designed for divers who prefer a streamlined rig without buckles, chest straps or padding and so a basic harness has been designed for use with a metal backplate (not included). The standard harness is constructed from 2 inch thick polypropylene webbing which provides strength but is soft against the body and can be customized with various accessories. So that the harness is durable, tubular webbing sleeves have been placed in areas where it will come into contact with a backplate.
