Product Information
The Scubapro X-Tek Stabilizing Crotch Strap is a BCD accessory designed to connect to any backplate, locking the diver and the BCD system together so the harness stays in place above and below the surface. It is built for divers using a backplate setup who want a stable fit that does not shift during the dive.
Who it is for
This crotch strap is for divers who have experienced discomfort or felt their BCD or harness slipping out of position during a dive. It is intended for anyone running a backplate system who wants the rig to stay locked to the body instead of shifting while swimming, finning, or moving gear in and out of the water.
Key details
The X-Tek Stabilizing Crotch Strap uses a universal design that attaches to any backplate. Once installed, it instantly locks the diver and the diving system together, preventing the BCD from shifting around whether the diver is on the surface or underwater. The part is identified by SKU and MPN 23.818.000 and barcode 4048336102018.
Compatibility and sizing
