Sizing Information 

 

The Ergovation

® 

sit harness features a revolution in both fit and design. Due to the adjustable work positioning “D” rings, the load 

bearing webbing that hosts the “D” can be adjusted to fit a range of sizes from 24” waist all the way to a size 44” waist! What this 
means is that the user can adjust the “D” pieces to create a customizable fit never before seen. The back pad design is size 
specific to the end user, however it can accommodate a range of  up to 3 different waist sizes per each back pad.( For example a 
size 

Medium

 back pad can accommodate a size 32in., 34in., and 36in. waist.) When measuring the waist, measure slightly below 

where pants are typically worn. 

(

Note

: Be sure to allow for wearing of heavy clothing in colder months.)  

To obtain a 

customized fit, the user should size the back pad to their own body. The wings of the back pad should wrap around the front of the 
hips by about 2-3in. (5 cm - 7.6 cm) to allow for adequate adjustment of the work positioning “D” rings. If the wings of the back pad 
sit flush with or behind the hip area, the user should go up one size to allow for adequate adjustment

 

and maximized comfort. 

 

(Note: Addition of the lumbar support can affect sizing; place lumbar pad in back pad pocket before sizing to ensure fit is 
adequate)
