The WTX and WTX-D Series is a selection of harnesses, buoyancy cells and accessories which offer unparalleled versatility due to the modular nature of the whole system.

The backbone of any system - this cleverly designed back plate can be used with the Apeks Deluxe One-piece Webbed Harness, or inserted directly into the WTX Harness. It is available both in stainless steel and aluminium. Features & Benefits Offered in either 304 stainless steel or 6061 anodized aluminum alloy. The stainless steel weighs 4.7 lbs (2.15 kg).
