Hi guys,
I recently got a couple of oxycheq wings and after looking around for a suitable sm harness, I finally realized that the best solution would to make one myself.
So to the sm gurus here, what do you think of this harness.
The harness would be mostly made out of seat belt webbing to give strength but the shoulder harness and waist webbing would be something similar to Halcyon but a tad softer.
The retainers are all custom ss laser cut & 3mm thick.
The diagram shows a basic harness without most of the waist d or shoulder d rings but the feature of this system is complete adjustability.
Anyone from 7' to below 5' should be use this harness as it's a 2 piece design with dual straps that one could thread through and lock at the ss retainers similar to a ss belt buckle.
The ss retainers at the shoulders, crouch and waist allow easy removal, adjustment and replacement of webbing.
I have chosen to use low profile 2" D rings instead of standard 1" rings to secure the stage/main sm tanks as I would be mostly diving from boats and I need something as strong as secure as possible in rough seas.
As with the transpac harness, it would allow the use of bm singles, doubles with the use of the transpac stabilization plates or sta and the spacing of the harness would be simlar to that of a oxycheq wing.
Any comments/feedback to improve the design would be greatly appreciated.
