FITTING OF THE PARACHUTE
(Continued)
Put the pack and harness on over the shoulders and fasten the chest strap. Pull the leg
straps up between the legs and fasten both sides. Pull the free ends of the straps to remove
excess slack and still maintain comfort. Skip ahead to the next page “Floating Harness
Adjustment.”
Your parachute harness also comes with adjustable leg pads. The pads can be easily moved
back and forth over the leg strap webbing (below the junction of hip side strap and mail lift
web (MLW). To position the pads for maximum comfort for an actual use, insert index finger
between back of leg strap webbing and upper end of leg pad to un-mate the Velcro. Slide
pad so the end is positioned near the leg strap hardware and re-mate Velcro. The pads will
now be held in proper adjustment for the next wearing.
