When the Stretch

Adjuster is correctly

positioned, it causes the

shoulder pad to wrap

around the shoulder so

that the end of the

shoulder pad is 1” to 2”

below the top of the

shoulder.

If the Stretch

Adjuster is too high, the

shoulder pad will be

unable to wrap around

the shoulder enough to

support the load

properly.

When the Stretch

Adjuster is positioned too

low, it forces the shoulder

pad to drop more than 2”

below the top of the

shoulder. This causes the

shoulder pad to fit

incorrectly or may lead

you to choose

the wrong size of

shoulder pad.
