XDEEP TEC Harness DIR Details

The XDEEP TEC Harness DIR provides the foundation for a straightforward and durable backplate and wing configuration. Its one-piece harness design follows the DIR approach of keeping the system simple, secure and free from unnecessary components, while allowing you to configure your equipment around your individual diving requirements.

The system is available with either a stainless-steel or anodised aluminium backplate. The stainless-steel option adds useful fixed weight to your equipment configuration and is particularly suited to divers using drysuits or those who benefit from additional weight close to the body. The aluminium version significantly reduces system weight, making it an excellent choice for travelling divers or those diving in lighter exposure protection.

XDEEP TEC Harness DIR Webbing

The harness uses stiff polyamide webbing, selected to make the system easier to don and manage while providing excellent durability. Polyamide is resistant to water, including seawater, and offers good abrasion resistance for the demands of regular diving.

XDEEP TEC Harness DIR D-Rings

The harness is fitted with substantial 6mm stainless-steel D-rings. The ends are welded and smoothly polished, creating strong attachment points designed to resist deformation even when carrying additional equipment such as stage cylinders.

The combination of the rigid backplate, one-piece DIR harness and heavy-duty hardware provides a dependable platform for divers looking to build a streamlined configuration for UK, technical or travel diving.
