Nomad divers who need to add weight to their rig will want the new Nomad Weight Plate. Carrying up to 16lbs of weight in four separate pockets, the Nomad Weight Plate attaches to the back of the Nomad using the existing grommets in the backplate. Formed in the shape of the backplate, it lies flat and isn"t felt by the diver. The grommets of the plate measure at 11.5-inches center-to-center, giving an extra 0.5-inch of spacing as compared to the grommets of the Nomad backplate. This allows the plate to align once it is filled with weight as the extra length is absorbed as the plate "thickens". New, SuperFabric? brand material covers the outside of the plate, protecting it from abrasion, wear and tear.
