7 The harness adjustment 2/2
The STEALTH 2.0 provides great comfort and full freedom of movement, providing the lower and upper nodes
are placed in the right spot on the back. The lower node should be in such a place so that the waist strap is
exactly on the waistline, and the upper node of the harness should be in such a place so that the metal element
is between the shoulder blades.
Placing the upper node too high may result in the harness sticking out from the back after you assume an
“arched back” position in water.
We begin the harness adjustment process by finding the right spot for the lower harness node. It should be
exactly on the lumbar curve of the spine. The picture below shows the right placement of the lower node on
the diver's body:
The middle of the upper node (indicated with the
dotted line) should be placed at the level of the
shoulder blades.
The middle of the lower node (also indicated with the
dotted line) should be placed exactly on the waist.
Note: For ease of viewing, the harness has been
configured without the central weight pocket. When
using the harness with the central weight pocket
attached, the rule remains the same.
After adjusting the lower node in the proper place, we adjust the length of the central strap in such a way so
that the upper node gets into the right place.
After you have finished the height adjustment , you need to adjust the length of the shoulder and waist straps.
The properly adjusted harness should cling closely to the body without limiting any movements.
Incorrectly adjusted length of the central harness strap may result in decreased freedom of movement or
by protruding of the harness.
