Product Information
Important: This item is a Hollis CRIB component and is not a complete BCD. The backplate is sold separately, and the harness must be paired with other compatible components to form a full backplate and wing setup.
The Hollis CRIB Custom Elite 2 Harness is a padded backplate harness for recreational and technical backplate divers, built on the Hollis Elite 2 platform with adjustable shoulder straps, quick-release buckles and 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware. The harness alone weighs 1.7 lb (0.77 kg) and carries three adjustable bent stainless steel D-rings on each side, plus an adjustable sternum strap.
Who it is for
This harness suits divers who want backplate modularity with the added comfort of removable, adjustable shoulder pads. Removable, adjustable shoulder pads spread tank load across the shoulders for longer dives, while quick-release shoulder buckles make donning and doffing easier than threading through fixed webbing. It is selectable as a harness component within the Hollis CRIB (Custom Rig Builder) program for single tank, double tank and sidemount configurations, so it works for single-cylinder recreational rigs and for doubles with stages, lights and SPGs clipped off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hollis Elite 2 Harness include a backplate?
No. The Elite 2 Harness is sold as a harness only and the backplate is sold separately. It is a CRIB component rather than a complete BCD, so you pair it with a backplate and wing to build a full system. The harness uses 2-inch webbing that routes through standard stainless steel and aluminum backplates for single tank and double tank setups.
How many D-rings does the Elite 2 Harness have?
It has three adjustable stainless steel bent D-rings on each side, six in total, which can be positioned for an SPG, lights or stage cylinders. All hardware, including the waist buckle, is 316 marine grade stainless steel.
Which size should I choose?
Hollis publishes three size ranges. XS/SM covers 5'0" to 5'7" and 100 to 155 lbs, MD/LG covers 5'7" to 6'2" and 150 to 210 lbs, and the largest size, shown here as XL/3XL and labeled XL/2XL by Hollis, covers 6'2" to 6'5" and 210 to 300 lbs. Adjustable shoulder straps and an adjustable sternum strap fine-tune the fit. Call 888-701-4017 if you are between sizes.
How much does the harness weigh and is it easy to put on?
The harness on its own weighs 1.7 lb (0.77 kg). Unlike a continuous webbing harness, the Elite 2 has adjustable shoulder straps with quick-release buckles, so you can open the shoulders for donning and doffing instead of threading through fixed webbing. The shoulder pads are removable and adjustable if you prefer a more minimal setup.
