Finally got to pool test my DSS setup last night while helping out a pool class. I wasn't too concerned with a perfect fit, as I knew it would take some trial and error, and, it would be way off for the pool (3mm vest only) if I set it for my 7mm, or off for the 7mm if I set it for the pool. Since I want to keep practicing with it when I help out in class, it got me thinking, is there a trick to readjusting back and forth? Do you just remember how much to take up/let out? Do you make fitting marks on the harness?
Is there a trick to readjusting a HOG harness?

I make marks on the harness with a silver Sharpie, I have to go over them every six months or so to darken them up.

I've also used the Silver Sharpie to make small marks on the harness when fitting harnesses on my wife and son's BP/W's.
It typically takes a couple dives and bit of fine tuning to get the "fit" just right, and having those reference marks really helps with making small adjustments and also with re-positioning D-rings.
The marks can just be fairly small dots, just big enough so you can see them when making adjustments.
Best wishes.
