Halcyon adjustable harness upgrade questions

[GTaylor]

Have a few questions about this system, is the upgrade compatible with any BP or just Halcyon? How hard is it to pull the webbing through to adjust it? How does the adjustable crotch strap work, can't find anything about how it works?

Thanks
Greg

i tried on the new Halcyon last weekend. It's easy to pull the straps, and the whole thing looks really well done. (I'm going to buy it for Christmas.) As to compatibility with other BP's - the system is built around a moulded plastic piece that fits on the bottom of the backplate. I think you'll need a Halcyon backplate for a proper fit. Back to the strap pull - it's a nice system. You just push out on the shoulder straps to create slack, and pull the waistband to tighten. The weight of the tanks locks everything in place.

Thanks for the info, it would be nice if it would work with other BP's because I am not looking to buy a new one right now.
