Dive Rite TransPac XT Package w/ Travel XT Wing

Harness
One of Dive Rite’s signature products, the Transpac XT leads the way in comfort and durability. Developed by Dive Rite CEO, Lamar Hires, the Transpac XT design was born from expeditions in the remote karst region of Japan. These expeditions required a harness that was rugged and comfortable, both in and out of the water. The Transpac XT uses a true mountaineer backpack design with integrated hip pads, molded foam lumbar support pad, and ergonomic shoulder pads. The Transpac XT is available in sizes XS-XXL, and is also available in sizes specifically for women.

The Transpac XT balances weight across the hips and back, evenly distributing the weight of single or double tanks. The integrated wrap-around hip pads, made of dual density foam, snugly hug the lower back giving critical support and cushioning. Double-foam shoulder pads fit perfectly beneath the two-inch shoulder webbing to give chafe-free comfort. The molded foam lumbar pad is contoured in all the right places with mesh airflow channels for instant draining topside. Chest-support strap provides ideal
load distribution and when used with the removable 1.5-inch crotch strap, provides stability and comfort in the water. Transition plates at the shoulders allow for quick user addition/removal of hardware and finite adjustments. Sizes XS-Med will include one 2” marine-grade stainless steel D-ring on each shoulder, sizes LG-XXL will include two 2” marine-grade stainless steel D-rings on each shoulder. All sizes come standard with one 2” marine-grade stainless steel D-ring on each side of the waist webbing. Dual 2” cam straps with marine-grade stainless steel buckles are positioned to give plenty of head room for easy maneuvering in the water.

The Transpac XT is neutrally buoyant, weighs less than 5lbs (2.29kg), and packs flat for travel.

Wing
 

A lightweight wing designed for single-tank, warm water diving, our Travel series of wings are small-profile and ideal for travel and divers who wear a minimal amount of weight. At 25lbs/11.3 kg of lift, the Travel can accommodate one 80ft3/12 L tank with no more than 16lbs. of additional weight.

With its donut-shape, the Travel wing provides greater stability and control in the water. Donut-style or 360 degree wings promote an even volume of inflation on top, sides and bottom, which improves buoyancy control and promotes a more efficient, horizontal trim.

What Are the Benefits of a Backplate BCD?

A backplate BCD, like the one in the Dive Rite TransPac XT Package, offers numerous benefits that enhance your dive experience. The steel backplate provides excellent stability and support, distributing the weight evenly across your back. This makes it easier to maintain a streamlined profile underwater, reducing drag and improving air consumption. The wing design of the Travel XT Wing allows for greater flexibility compared to traditional jacket BCDs, giving divers more control over their buoyancy and trim.

Another key advantage is the modularity of a backplate BCD system. The Dive Rite TransPac XT harness is highly customizable, allowing divers to add or remove components such as trim weight pockets and diving accessories based on their personal preferences and diving style. This adaptability means that your gear can evolve with your needs, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced divers alike.

Additionally, backplate BCDs are known for their durability. The rugged construction of the TransPac XT harness and the resilient materials used in the Travel XT Wing provide longevity, even in harsh diving conditions. This durability translates to fewer replacements and repairs, making it well worth it in the long run.

What to Know Before You Buy a Scuba Backplate and Wing

Before investing in a scuba backplate and wing setup, you will want to consider several factors to find the perfect fit for your diving needs. First, assess the type of diving you plan to do. If you engage in technical diving or prefer a streamlined profile for better maneuverability, the Dive Rite TransPac XT Package with its wing design might be ideal. It’s also important to evaluate the fit and comfort of the harness. The TransPac XT harness offers adjustability to cater to different body shapes and sizes, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit during dives.

Next, think about the weight system. Trim weight pockets are important for achieving proper buoyancy and trim underwater. The Dive Rite setup provides integrated options for weight placement, which helps balance your gear and improve overall dive performance. Additionally, consider the materials used in the backplate and wing. A steel backplate adds weight but offers superior durability and stability, which is particularly useful for cold water diving where additional weight is beneficial.

Compatibility with other diving gear is another important consideration. Make sure that your existing accessories, such as regulators and tanks, are compatible with the new setup. The Dive Rite TransPac XT Package is designed with versatility in mind, making it easy to integrate with a wide range of accessories and setups.
