Customization options

If friction or pressure points occur during use, corrections can be made by readjusting the vest and thigh cuffs.

This might be necessary especially during the first hour of use, when the LiftSuit “settles” after putting it on, or

when you change your workplace and you switch e.g. from standing work to working on your knees.

TIGHTEN

Pull the loose end of the strap away from the buckle
to tighten it.

Eventually also tilt the buckle slightly to reduce
tension.

LOOSEN

Grab the buckle and tilt it on the side of the loose
strap end and pull it.
