Extra notice:

For those who are putting on a harness like this and will be working in it while on rope we suggest you take time to learn how to don it. We often see in photos and videos that the harness isn’t sitting right and get to hear about it pinching. The trick is not to adjust the harness before you go on rope. If you walk around sure make it look like you know what your doing instead of being a slop. However before you go on rope loosen the butt straps completely and all straps a bit, especially the chest part. Once you sit in the harness you should move the leg padding towards your knees. This will help cradle you and takes the ventral D-ring straps away from your crotch. After doing this adjust your chest portion and make it tight enough for the chest ascender to be pulled up efficiently.
Whatever you do, do not and I repeat do not stand up on the ground after you made all these adjustments. Because you pulled the chest portion tight the harness will rise up and this is the problem with getting on rope while looking like a million dollars. It will end between your leg and be uncomfortable.
If you want to check if you wore your harness right? There are two things you will notice,

1. It will be comfortable and keep in mind for long periods use a work seat.

2. If you get back on the ground and you cannot stand up straight you know you did right.

Hope this helps and if it did talk to your trainer to show him or her how to do it right. After all there a saying those who can’t do it, train. A lot of our friends will be upset now 😉
