ASSEMBLING YOUR WTX SYSTEM

A single cylinder buoyancy cell may be attached directly to an Apeks back plate or the WTX harness

using dual standard cylinder bands.

NOTE:

The terms “hook,” “loop,” and “hook & loop” are used throughout this manual. Hook &

Loop is commonly known as Velcro®, which is a trademarked brand of hook & loop. Many of the

BC’s components have hook & loop attachments, including the waistband, cylinder bands, and

weight pouch flaps.

Mounting Directly to the Back Plate
