5.3 Front Buckle Location and Trimming Excess Webbing
(PURE and PRO Harnesses)
The placement of the Stainless Steel
Waist buckle does depend on diver
configuration but generally should be
off-set slightly to the right (fig. 7), so
it is unhindered by the crotch strap
which is centrally aligned with your
navel but still allows easy reach to
release the buckle. The waist buckle
should not be too far right if you are
using a light canister on your right
side.
To move the Waist Buckle, untuck
the existing webbing from the 2 x
Elastic Webbing Retainers (fig. 7-1)
and feed all excess webbing through
the buckle to allow you to move the
Waist Buckle in the desired direction
(fig. 7-2).
You should allow approximately 20cm
of excess webbing (fig. 7-3) (to be
tucked back into the Elastic Webbing
Retainers) to ensure you can re-
adjust your harness depending on
thickness of exposure protection or
configuration changes. Remember
that each time you add an item like
a light canister onto your system,
you will require some of the excess
webbing.
Trim the excess webbing while still
allowing for approximately 20cm of
excess. Use a lighter to singe the free
end to prevent fraying.
