Troubleshooting
Harness feels too loose or too tight
Re-adjust the DOUBLEBACK buckles on the waistbelt and the buckles on the leg loops. Ensure the waistbelt is centered and the leg loops provide a secure, comfortable fit without restricting circulation.
Difficulty accessing gear on rear loops
The flexible rear loops are designed to angle gear forward. Try arranging your gear differently or consider using the front loops or accessory loop for frequently needed items.
Harness feels uncomfortable during long climbs
Ensure the waistbelt and leg loops are properly adjusted to distribute weight evenly. Check that FRAME Technology is positioned correctly. Verify that clothing layers are not bunching up uncomfortably under the padding.
Buckles are difficult to adjust
Ensure the webbing is not twisted. If the buckles feel stiff, they may need to be cleaned. Wipe them with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry before use.
