Lateral Pass-Through:
IMPORTANT
When you place your leg strap inside the suit, pass your harness lateral between the zippers. You
can zip the bottom slider (it has a white spectra loop on it) up until it touches the bottom of your
lateral. Have a friend check the height and positioning of the lower zipper while you are standing
with your rig on. The zipper should not be crammed tight against the bottom of your lateral - just
lightly touching it is fine.
The Velcro panels are OPTIONAL
. If you don’t like Velcro, leave them off. We recommend
placing the Velcro panels ONLY if they do not come into contact with your lateral, and ONLY if
there truly is plenty of room between your lateral and the end of the shoulder zip.
The Velcro panels can be used to help close any gap that may be present between the top of
your lateral, and the bottom of the shoulder zipper. These Velcro panels are not structural nor do
they withstand any load. They are simply to minimize the amount of air transfer into the body cavity
of your suit. Securing the Velcro panels is optional, and a matter of comfort. They do not have a
significant effect on performance. Most harnesses will require only one Velcro panel above the
lateral. The rig in the photo attached is longer than average, and requires two panels above the
lateral. Unused or spare panels can be stored in your nutsack.
