Adjusting the chest strap.
The distance to consider corresponds to the length between the middle points at the bottom of each carabiner.
The ideal distance varies between paragliding wing models. Adjust your harness’s chest strap according to the wing manufacturer’s recommendations.
Tightening the chest-strap provides more stability but less piloting efficiency while increasing the risk of riser twisting.
On the contrary, loosening the strap provides more efficiency but can be dangerous in turbulent aerology (increased risk of falling towards the collapsed side of your
glider).
