KevinMcGuire 0 #2 May 4, 2004 Looks a bit low to me. But to be sure I'd need to be there with a measuring tape. Is it causing a problem? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #3 May 4, 2004 now that i think of it, that might be why my leg straps squish my junk together when i walk? think thats it? i just noticed it while looking at some old pics. what do you think i should do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinMcGuire 0 #4 May 4, 2004 Sorry to hear about you junk. First you have to decide how big a problem it is because if you need to have the harness adjusted, it's going to cost you. It means haveing the entire main lift web re-worked. Personnaly, I wouldn't worry too much unless the chest strap is hiting you in the neck or if you having trouble reaching the toggles. Humm... Seems that the r on my keyboard doesn't like to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightjumps 1 #5 May 4, 2004 How large a gap do you have between your shoulders and the shoulder straps under canopy? edit: Looks like Kevin and I were writing at the same time - what he said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 May 4, 2004 How about you send some pics to the folks that made your rig, since they'd be the ones that would really and truely know for sure.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it looks like serial #6873, to be exact It looks like the rings are right about where we like them to be- right between the top of your femur and the top of your pelvis. It wouldn't feel too good to have a ring sitting right on top of a bone, now would it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betzilla 56 #9 May 4, 2004 They look about right to me -- they should be right at the level of the point of your hipbone (which in women is usually a bit lower than the visual top of the hip. The "junk squishing" isn't really an indication of improper fit (I have a ring harness that fits me like butter, and I get a little of that too); it's really just an unfortunate -- or fortunate, depending on your perspective -- consequence of a ringed harness. -B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move the junk? VSE's harness has the rings a bit lower than say a Talon which are really high. The Effect of this is one of the most comfortable harnesses while under canopy ever made.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

We can make you some narrow legpads- 3" vs. the 4 1/4" you have now. Let me know if you would like to go that route. Do you usually have problems on the ground or under canopy?

KellyF 16 #15 May 4, 2004 You could always leave them loose until just before you get into the plane. I know some people don't like doing that though, so if you want the narrow pads, just say the word Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
