Scubapro S-Tek PRO System – 30lb / 13kg

Description

The Ultimate Adjustable Backplate & Wing System

The Scubapro S-Tek PRO System is a revolutionary technical diving rig that combines the minimalist utility of a classic backplate and wing (BPW) setup with premium comfort features and modern adjustability. Designed for divers who demand rugged durability without sacrificing comfort, the S-Tek PRO bridges the gap between recreational and technical diving.

This configuration features a 30lb (13kg) Donut Wing, making it the ideal choice for single-tank diving, whether you are exploring local reefs or conducting extended-range technical dives.

Key Features

Unmatched Comfort & Fit

• Molded Monprene® Padding: Unlike traditional rigid backplates, the PRO system includes molded Monprene® pads on the shoulders, waist, and back. This provides superior cushioning and grip without adding unnecessary bulk or inherent buoyancy.

• 3D Formed Backplate: The backplate features a softened, organic shape with curved profiles and fully radiused edges to mirror the diver’s back, preventing pressure points and suit abrasion.

• TEK LOC Adjustable Shoulders: The harness includes adjustable TEK LOC shoulder straps that allow for a snug, individualized fit and make donning and doffing the rig significantly easier than standard continuous-webbing harnesses.

Rugged & Streamlined Design

• Durable Donut Wing: The 30lb wing is constructed with a virtually bulletproof 1000D Cordura outer shell and a 500D Cordura inner bladder, offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and punctures.

• Rounded Wing Profile: The wing features a refined, rounded profile that ensures smooth, controlled air migration and reduces the risk of trapped air, promoting perfect trim and buoyancy control.

• EVO Angle Webbing Slots: The backplate utilizes angled webbing slots for more natural routing. This reduces webbing abrasion and increases comfort by allowing the harness to lay flat against the body.

Technical Utility

• Customizable Hardware: Equipped with premium stainless steel hardware, including a waist buckle, two pre-bent D-rings on the shoulders, two D-rings on the waist, and two on the crotch strap for clipping off stage bottles, lights, and other accessories.

• S-Tek Ergo Nuts: The system uses ergonomically designed “Ergo Nuts” for flush-mounting the backplate to the wing. These are easy to tighten or loosen with cold or gloved hands and sit flush to prevent damage to your dive suit.

• Versatile Mounting Points: The backplate includes mounting points for trim weights, an argon tank (for drysuit divers), and a convenient built-in carry handle.
