Hollis Aluminum Backplate 2.0

By Hollis | EN AW 6061 Hard-Anodized Aluminum | Ultra-Light 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg)

Build your ideal lightweight travel or single-tank setup with the official Hollis Aluminum Backplate 2.0. Precision laser-cut from 3mm EN AW 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and CNC bent, this plate delivers extreme structural rigidity while weighing in at a featherlight 1.5 lbs (just under 1 kg)—making it the perfect core foundation for traveling divers trying to stay under airline weight limits.

Available at International Diving Centre—Vancouver's technical diving headquarters—the 2.0 plate features a hard-anodized marine black finish that resists salt corrosion and scratching. Retaining Hollis' proven slot geometry, it offers 100% backwards compatibility with all Hollis harnesses, Solo/Elite systems, wings, backpads, and LX2 weight systems.
