04 Flying with the Connect 

Reverse Evo 

Converting the harness 

The Connect Reverse Evo can be turned 
from a backpack into a harness and vice 
versa in just a few steps. 

Conversion from backpack into 
harness 

Fig. 22 to Fig.25 show how to convert the 
backpack. 

 

PLEASE NOTE 

The two pockets on the outside of the 
backpack can still be used to store small 
objects when it is used as a harness. This 
allows you to keep safe items which 
would otherwise annoy you in your jacket 
pocket. These pockets cannot be done 
up, so be careful not to lose anything 
when changing it back into a backpack. 

It is better to keep larger items such as a 
spare t-shirt in the top lid pocket or in the 
pocket for the hydration system bladder. 

 

⚠ 

WARNING 

The zip for the back section must be done 
up completely to ensure the full level of 
protection is provided by the airbag’s rear 
chamber. 

The compression straps for the backpack 
must be loosened off fully in order to 
allow the airbag to inflate completely.

Conversion from harness into 
backpack 

To change the harness back into a 
backpack, follow the steps above in reverse 
order. 

 

PLEASE NOTE 

Open the compression straps first. This 
facilitates packing and in particular makes 
it easier to close the zip.  

When packing, make sure that none of 
the buckles are caught between the seat 
and the back, as this can cause dents in 
the seat over time.
