Hello peoples....
I'm in the process of setting up my new XDeep Stealth 2 harness, and wondering if any of you XDeep divers can help me out with some advice.
1) I realise that exact tailoring will be individual to me and will need some adjustment when i first start test diving it, to get it right, but as a rough guide for a starting point, how long roughly should the loop be on each side?
I'm opting for the Loop Bungee system, where one loop is created each side independently, running through a small loop of bungee on the harness strap to make sure it's always easy to locate. (I hope this description makes sense)
2) I'm aware it may be different in the water, but when i put the harness on, on dry land to check i've got all the sizing etc correct, I notice that when i add the wing over the top, it seems to cover up the square metal mounting points (like D rings) that come pre-attached at the back of each hip. As i'm going to be diving steel cylinders, i figure i'll be most likely to utilise these and when covered they seem quite difficult to access for clipping on/off.
Is this something that is alleviated once in the water, or do I need to move the Square D rings further out along the waist strap? Or maybe I shouldn't be considering to use these clip points at all?
any help/advice will be gratefully received.....
Thanks
Stu.
