Back pain, sore hips,carrying too much lead... a harness can help with all these issues. The harness sits higher on the body allowing you to carry the lead like a back pack which takes all the stress away from your lower back and hips. Duck-diving will be easier as the weight is over the more buoyant chest area and is more forward of your center of balance.
In the design phase of making this harness there were a few issue that needed to be addressed....
First and foremost was safety. Can you get your harness off quickly if you have to? The short answer is yes.
On both shoulders straps there is a quick release buckle which when squeezed will also release quickly and efficiently.
The second main point is cost. Replacing your weight system can run into the hundreds, but the robust pocket style weight holders can easily fit your old 1.5kg buckle weights. Perfect.
