APEKS WTX HARNESS
Apeks’ harnesses, buoyancy cells and accessories are fully modular. They can be mixed and matched to
create the ideal system for you and the type of diving you choose to do. In addition, it is easy to customize
your system by adding or changing out various pieces of hardware. Whether you want a travel friendly rig to
dive in the tropics or a solid technical rig to dive deep, Apeks has the right buoyancy configuration for you.
Removable Back Pad
Versatility Through Modularity
The back pad in the WTX harness is considered optional
and can be removed. It is held in place by simple hook
and loop.
Backplate Allowances
If desired, the WTX harness gives the option of inserting
an Apeks backplate for additional weight or support. The
backplate can be inserted directly into a compartment on
the harness, therefore does not need hardware or cylinder
bands to hold it in place. If you are using nuts and bolts to
attach a cylinder or cylinders to the WTX harness, then the
backplate must be used.
Dual Cylinder Band Capability
A quick and easy way to attach a single cylinder to the WTX
harness is the use of dual universal or GripLock™ cylinder
bands. The bands can be run directly through the back of
the harness with or without a backplate installed.
Open Shoulder Design
The 2-inch webbing on the shoulders of the WTX harness
is an open design. While the WTX harness comes with a
2-inch angled D-ring on each shoulder, the shoulder can
be opened up to change out or add additional hardware.
NOTE: Optional GripLock™ cylinder bands
(PN 428240) may be purchased separately for
the WTX harness.
