(4) Chest Strap
The adjustment of the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners and affects the handling and stability
of the glider. Widening the distance between the carabiners increases feedback from the wing and allows for easier
weight shifting. Closing the strap gives you a more stable feeling in turbulence but increases the risk of stable spiral
and also the risk of twisting! The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions; for example,
it may be tightened in turbulent air and flown at a looser setting in less turbulent or weak conditions.
To tighten, pull the black webbing strap to the left.
To loosen, pull the black webbing strap to the right.
