CREST - User Manual After having closed all container parts, it is advisable to check that the two zips under the opening system have been closed correctly. The cord must be removed at the end of this process, and must be extract- ed slowly in order to avoid damaging the elastic loops due to excessive fric- tion between the parts. -

“parachute landing fall” to minimise the risk of injury. 2.2 - Harness adjustments CREST offers the option of adjusting the back inclination, the chest width and the shoulder height in order to guarantee an optimum pilot position. Some time is needed to find this optimum position, but the time spent will be well rewarded in exceptional flying comfort. -
Page 17: Back Adjustment
CREST - User Manual The reserve parachute must be inserted before making any adjustments. To find the optimum position, we recommend hanging with the harness, simulating flight position and conditions. Therefore it is best to place all the material which you normally take into flight with you in the rear pocket. - Page 18 CREST - User Manual 2.2.3- Chest strap adjustment The chest strap controls the distance between the two snap-hooks, which can vary from 35 to 45 centimetres. For the first flight, we suggest setting the chest strap to around 40 cm and then locating the preferred length in flight by means of gradual adjustment.
