Anybody tried these?
Iv been using a serpentine chest strap for years. Was thinking what would be quicker and easier to adjust.

but like I said probably me doing it wrong
Amy said:I thought it would suck to carry loads... Trick is you tie yourself a handy lanyard of appropriate length, loop it up through one harness leg loop, across to the other and back down. Clip both ends to your pack. This puts the weight you carry into the seat of your harness, and you almost plumb don't feel it at all... because the seat harness is taking the weight, your chest tape never does

Amy said:Let me know how it works when you try it.
Amy said:I don't think I would put a pick off on my leg loops...are they rated for weight like that? ...I wish they still taught pickoffs as I am very rusty on them!
Kenilworth said:Though it does work well for hauling, I suspect that hanging a pack from the leg loops may have as much to do with minimizing testicular discomfort as it does with facilitating the use of a bungee chest harness.
However, when lifting a lot of weight, the method described pulls the legs together uncomfortably and creates potential wear points on the bottom of the leg loops.
However, there are quite a few options that can be tried.
