Sizing Information
The Ergovation
®
sit harness features a revolution in both fit and design. Due to the adjustable work positioning "D" rings, the load
bearing webbing that hosts the "D" can be adjusted to fit a range of sizes from 24" waist all the way to a size 44" waist! What this
means is that the user can adjust the "D" pieces to create a customizable fit never before seen. The back pad design is size
specific to the end user, however it can accommodate a range of up to 3 different waist sizes per each back pad.( For example a
size Medium back pad can accommodate a size 32in., 34in., and 36in. waist.) When measuring the waist, measure slightly below
where pants are typically worn. (Note: Be sure to allow for wearing of heavy clothing in colder months.) To obtain a
customized fit, the user should size the back pad to their own body. The wings of the back pad should wrap around the front of the
hips by about 2-3in. (5 cm - 7.6 cm) to allow for adequate adjustment of the work positioning "D" rings. If the wings of the back pad
sit flush with or behind the hip area, the user should go up one size to allow for adequate adjustment and maximized comfort.
(Note: Addition of the lumbar support can affect sizing; place lumbar pad in back pad pocket before sizing to ensure fit is
adequate)
