The XDeep NX aluminum backplate is a premium choice for divers seeking a lightweight, comfortable, and highly ergonomic foundation for their dive rig, especially those who travel frequently. NX Backplate in stainless steel is made from a much denser and heavier material. This makes it suitable for divers who need significant inherent weight in their backplate, often to offset buoyancy in specific diving conditions or when using drysuits and aluminum cylinders. NX Ultralight Backplate takes the concept of weight reduction to the extreme within the NX Series. It's specifically designed for divers who want the absolute lightest possible backplate without compromising on strength or the ergonomic benefits of the NX design.
XDeep NX Backplate Aluminium or Stainless Steel or Ultralight version
The XDeep NX backplates are known for their innovative ergonomic design, which sets them apart from traditional rectangular backplates. They are shaped to follow the natural curves of the diver's back, particularly in the lumbar region and the upper shoulders.
The XDeep NX Backplate in aluminum is a core component of the XDeep NX Series dive systems, designed for both recreational and technical divers who prioritize a lightweight setup. It is made from high-quality, marine-grade aluminum, typically anodized for corrosion resistance
The XDeep NX stainless steel backplate is the choice for divers who appreciate the superior ergonomics and modularity of the XDeep NX system but require significant inherent weight from their backplate to optimize their trim and reduce the need for external ballast. It's particularly popular among technical divers and those diving in colder waters. It is made from high-grade stainless steel, which is exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for continuous use in harsh marine environments.
The "Ultralight" designation comes from its advanced material. It's typically constructed from an aerospace-grade aluminum and magnesium alloy. This specific alloy offers an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio, allowing XDeep to create an incredibly light yet rigid backplate.
XDeep NX backplates are typically available in two sizes to accommodate different diver heights:
Size S (Short): Recommended for divers under approximately 175 cm (5'9").
Size L (Long): Recommended for divers over approximately 175 cm (5'9").
