Inspo classic harness size

Eoin · 26th June 2007, 11:19

Hi all,
I bought a second hand Classic and have done the MOD1, but I find that the more I am getting used to the feel of the unit the more I realise that the harness is a little too big. Its a large harness and I'm 6' 2", but even in my drysuit I have the adjustment straps pulled completely down. It still feels like there's a bit too much space at my back.
I got onto AP for a size recommendation, but they haven't responded with an answer (yet). I am hoping to do more warm water diving next year, and when I was in Tenerife in May it was moving from side to side on my back in a 5mm wetsuit.
Anyone got a medium harness I can buy/swap?

I'm 6' 4.5" and had the large harness. It seemed fine, once I had the waist strap tight enough. It seemed to be like a rucsac - the waist strap fitting is more important than the shoulder straps to the comfort once you're in the water.

Having said that, I'm back to using my original backplate/harness combo (with a few small mods). That's much nicer all round.

Good luck,
