Struggling with Razor 2.5 + few questions

[Hcklo]

As is said above, it's too far up. It also seems to be very tight. I am not familiar with the Razor harness, but I wonder if you need it that tight, given the balanced nature of sidemount. Make a change and perform a test dive, perhaps in front of an action camera.

My experience is that once the tanks hooked, everything gets slightly less tight, specifically with soft webbing (I use it to get the sliding dive rite D rings). I think with hard webbing it is a bit less the case as it keeps the stiffness, that well say, maybe I am totally wrong.
In the last picture, I tried with a under garnement but I also dive from times to times in 5mm, and I am looking to be able to dive with both suits without having to change the harness (maybe not possible)

Move the top plate down or your neck will be hurting.

Yeah I dont know why the delta went up a bit again. I tried initially to mount it touching only the top of the delta plate with my fingers (as mention on the manual)

But this is way under C7. So I tried to mount it middle way, with my fingers touching the middle of the delta plate. But it moved some how. I will try to remount it lower tomorrow. Thanks !

You still need the bungee on the butt D ring to lower plate. That affects fit as it introduces the 1 or so inches of stretch to the rig.

Good afternoon,

So I have change so the delta is lower, if any soul can give me some feedback I would be super grateful . Maybe double checking before I mount the wing

Your butt d-ring needs to come up quite a bit. Also it looks like your waist band needs to come up. the waist band should be just below (try about 6-8 cm) below your belly button.

Thanks for the feedback.

For the waist band, is it not dependent from the size of the diver?
I am short (176cm), and what I red is that in the case of being short it is better to have the mini back plate at the hips level and not at the waist level.

Currently the belly button is 7,5/8cm from the waist band

I will change the position of the D butt, thanks !

Put the cylinders on. Test in a pool. Ask your friend if the cylinders are about horizontal. Make sure the cylinders feel comfortable. Not too high in the armpits. Not too low. Comfy and balanced. It is just a harness. It is used to carry things. You need to adjust it to fit your body. This is not rocket science.

Your cylinders are clipped to the waist band. The waist band needs to be low enough that the cylinder valves do not push into your armpits or beyond but are comfortable. Placement depends on person. Of course there are rules of thumb that are good for most people, but ultimately you need a good fit.

The butt D-ring is awfully low. It is an attachment point for stuff. You probably do not want everything to dangle betwen your legs. I would thus move it a bit higher.

that's probably a little low. shoot for 6 cm. . . you aren't too far off, but judging by the pictures, your waist band is lower in front than it is in the back.
