8 Adjusting 1/2
When you order a complete buoyancy set, you're going to receive all parts assembled and ready to use.
However, to improve the comfort and safety of the user, in the end you should adjust the shoulder straps and
the crotch strap.
NextGEN harness is available in two sizes: M and XL. M-size harness is designed for people of 175cm in height
and shorter, whereas XL-size harness for people taller than 175cm.
The unique structure of NextGEN harness, providing automatic shortening of shoulder straps after you fasten
the waist strap, combines the advantages of the traditional technical harness with easiness to put it on and
take it off provided by the harness with easy-to-undo buckles. In most cases the set requires adjustment only
before the first dive after the purchase and in the case of changing the suit, thanks to which, at all times, the
user has a set providing optimal trim and stability.
NextGEN harness is traditionally equipped with V-type crotch strap which distributes pressure on a larger area
and at the same time improves comfort in particular when you dive with a scooter. If you prefer the traditional
type of crotch strap, contact the producer to obtain information on how to attach it.
In the basic version of harness the shoulder straps and the crotch strap are adjusted through shortening or
lengthening the loop which forms at the end of the webbing. The following picture shows points where
shoulder straps and crotch strap can be adjusted:
In order to lengthen the shoulder or crotch strap, first insert the end of the webbing into the blocking buckle
(stopper) and then take out the excess of the webbing at the side of the loop. In order to shorten the strap, do
the opposite, i.e. first insert the webbing at the side of the loop into the blocking buckle and then take out the
excess of the webbing at its loose end.
