The Dive360 Take

The XR-Rec Trim is for divers who want the open front of a backplate-and-wing setup, with useful adjustment built into the harness.

Its aluminium skeleton backplate helps keep the set manageable for travel. Independent shoulder and waist straps let you adjust those areas separately, so a waist adjustment does not have to become a complete harness project.

This is the aluminium 417566 version, listed here in black. Choose it when the single-cylinder layout and adjustable harness suit your diving, and allow time to become familiar with the setup if you are moving from a jacket-style BCD.

The serious stuff
  • Mares XR-Rec Trim Single Backmount Set, model 417566; existing black variant.
  • Single-cylinder backmount wing; 1000-denier Cordura construction.
  • 3mm aluminium skeleton backplate and 3mm aluminium single-tank adapter.
  • Independent shoulder and waist straps; buckles on both shoulder straps.
  • Adjustable crotch strap; back padding and removable shoulder padding.
  • Aluminium D-rings; inflator with metal buttons; two tank straps.
  • Manufacturer-listed complete-set weight: 2.8kg.
  • Adjustable harness. Configure and check fit before use; this listing is for a single-cylinder setup.
Why we like it

Independent shoulder and waist adjustment makes it easier to fine-tune fit without continually disturbing the rest of the harness.

The skeleton aluminium plate reduces plate weight, while back and removable shoulder padding add practical comfort.

Two tank straps and the single-tank adapter are useful parts of the complete configuration. The result is an open front without asking you to start with an empty pile of components.

Who we recommend it to

Single-cylinder scuba divers who prefer a backplate-and-wing arrangement, including divers developing their equipment setup with appropriate instruction.

A useful option for travel when you want an aluminium plate and adjustable harness. It is not a substitute for the training or configuration required for technical diving.

The harness is adjustable rather than supplied in separate letter sizes. Fit it around your normal exposure suit, and check that the strap adjustment range suits you.
