Figure 12

Once setup, the system can be tightened from

the forward (bow/shin) and rear (buckle)

positions, to create a nice tight fit. (Figure 12)

Once the thigh straps are fit, the backband can be

tightened to create the whole system. You should

be able to exit and refit the thigh straps with only

minor adjustments at the fastex buckle end.

Happy Boating!
