The Mares XR-Rec Ice Single Backmount Set is built to meet the demands of cold water technical diving, offering unmatched durability, strength, and comfort. This robust system is the ideal choice for divers seeking a high-performance backmount configuration capable of withstanding extreme conditions.
For increased longevity and strength, all aluminium components from the previous version have been replaced with 316 stainless steel. This includes the 6 mm stainless steel backplate, D-rings, buckles, and quick-release system, delivering superior resistance to corrosion and a sleek, rugged finish.
The XR-Rec Ice features a 16-litre standard single tank donut wing for reliable buoyancy control. The backplate supports a double tank strap configuration, secured with stainless steel buckles and flat head bolt screws, ensuring a firm and stable attachment throughout your dive.
Comfort is a priority in this system. Back and shoulder padding help reduce strain during extended dives, and the harness is fully adjustable, allowing for a customised one-size-fits-all fit. The standard harness strap and quick-release buckle offer both reliability and ease of use.
Included are two detachable side weight pockets, each fitted with D-rings and VELCRO® Brand closures. One pocket is extendable, making it ideal for stowing accessories or tools.
