2.4.1 ADJUSTMENT - WAIST BELT 2.4.2 ADJUSTMENT - LEG STRAP
Adjust leg strap pads by simply moving the webbing
through leg adjustment buckle, if any further
adjustments are needed release webbing from the
keeper and slide through to your required length. Any
excess webbing needs to be tucked neatly back into
the keeper.
PLEASE NOTE: The leg straps are intended to be a
relaxed fit at the thigh, as shown, however if preferred a
tighter fit can be used.
2.4.3 ADJUSTMENT - REAR STRAPS
The rear straps set the position
between the leg loop and the waist
belt. This ensures that the harness
is not slack and supports the thighs
without causing discomfort.
Adjust these straps by feeding the
webbing through the buckle to a
position which provides the best
balanced and comfort.
The waist belt should be adjusted
so that your body feels supported
and comfortable.
This adjustment is only required
once.
PLEASE NOTE: Any excess
webbing needs to be tucked neatly
back into the keeper.

to the leg riser (16) and the oating
bridge strap (15) an optimum

NOT be used by a male.The harness
has been designed to fit the female

bridges should be used

give the exibility of three alternative
placement points allowing for a
maximum of three separate bridges.
The wearer can set the most suitable
angle by choosing either one of the
placement points. This exibility
ensures optimum balance and superior
comfort.
