The top of the BAT Wing bolts into the DSP of the

Razor Harness and should be positioned so that
the waist bungee cord and dump valve / infla-
tor elbow are at the height of your belly button
just above the waist strap of the Razor Harness.

Depending on the individual setup the top of the

wing can be bolted directly into the DSP or into the
Bungee Triglide if required to get a perfect fit.

Ideally the top hole in the DSP should be

used to leave the bottom hole free to
attach the Lumbar Strap of the T Weight
System but you can attach both the
BAT Wing and the T Weight System
to the same hole either at the top or
bottom of the DSP using the longer
button head screw provided if
required.

Step 1: Adjusting and Attaching the top of the BAT Wing
to the DSP of the Razor Harness

2 Rigging the Razor BAT Wing
