Harness main

Post by hepcat1989 »

I'm taking my pod harness over to my mother's house today . I am going to have her sew a floresant orange(HUNTER"S ORANGE) sleeve for my main. She sews like the wind! HA. Any thoughts? I may also paint my carabiner as well! I am not sure if the paint would mess with the hang strap. (Some may rub off i'm sure) Any thoughts? None of my colors are coordinated anyway, so I don't give a rat's................
Thank You.
I had fun!

Keep in mind that you have *two*, *separate* lines running up to your
carabiner: the harness mains, and the parachute riser which is
velcroed to them. If you're going to put orange covers on them, they
each need their own covers so they can separate if you deploy your
'chute.

Ok , i'm thinking two velcro tabs to hold it around. Not sewn tight.
