attachment panel which is RF welded over a large surface area to minimize individual stress points no stitching on the panel means no points where fabric should tear every strap on the system uses cedar summits patented accessory hooks this from axe removal of the system super quick and easy when it comes to attaching the harness start with the shoulder straps this padding is built from high flow Evo foam as well as air mesh you'll find a large metal bar at the top with a cedar summit logo this bar is built from load tested 7 o 75 aluminium start off by sliding the strap the whole way along the groove next you want to choose your shoulder height if you're taller choose a high height and if you're shorter choose the low high line up the bar and push it the whole way through once it's through push through the other side making sure that the concave follows the contour of the pack once that's locked in double check that your strap is in the top groove rather than in the lower group next attach your support straps these are built from 25 millimeter nylon and the buckle is built from the same aluminum as your back bar you simply slide it through the loop and make sure that the hook is clipped out on the outside you now need to repeat this with your lower strap make sure that the hook goes through the top loop as the bottom loop is reserved for your waist strap you now need to clip in your waist strap this works in very much the same way as the rest of the clips however you do need to make sure the strap is the right way up to do this make sure that these aluminium buckles are on the top side of the harness then simply clip your hooks in as we've been doing already do this on both sides and your harness is now installed to remove the hooks easily pinch the fabric and then pull the hook out chest strap lights are also fully adjustable simply take your aluminium clip back through the hopper one select your new height and reinsert it once it's through make sure the straps the right way up 65 litre and larger options have this padded hip belt which is built from the same materials as the shoulder straps gladly even when the harvest is removed there are
