LINK PILOT manual EN Version 1.0 January 2021

Protectors 

Two types of protector are available for the LINK PILOT harness: a mousse protector and an airbag. The harness 
complies with EN1651 and LTF 91/09 when used in combination with either of the dedicated protectors. 

The protectors can be easily fitted to the harness using the 6 Velcro connection points, marked with 

 in the 

pictures below, and mounting rings 

.There are two mounting rings. The lower pair should be used to mount the 

mousse protector, and the upper rings are for the airbag protector.

There should be a small gap between the mousse protector and the harness to avoid restricting leg mobility, but the 
airbag should be attached as closely as possible to the base of the harness.
