Adjusting the Chest Strap
The chest strap fits across your sternum and keeps the shoulder straps
from slipping to the sides, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. Before
donning the BC, loosen and disconnect the chest strap. After donning the
BC, connect the chest strap and tighten by pulling on the free ends of the
straps. The chest strap should feel comfortable across the chest; it should
not be overtightened so that it feels restrictive. Once the shoulder straps
are in position, adjust the shoulder strap length by pulling down on the
d-rings until the BC fits comfortably. Become familiar with the adjustment of
this strap so that you can perform this adjustment in the water if necessary.
Removable Chest Strap
The chest strap on your BC is removable. To remove the chest strap, unweave
the straps from the male and female parts of the chest buckle. For each strap,
pull the free end through the plastic rings connected to the strap. Pull the strap
through the plastic rings that are connected to the BC.
Crotch Strap (optional)
An optional crotch strap (PN 427038) can be attached to the three crotch strap
attachment points sewn into BC (two front and one rear). The addition of a crotch
strap can prevent the BC from riding up on diver, providing a more secure fit.
