Alternative "Armadillo"

Soren Thomsen · 5th July 2007, 12:12

Had a couple of "under the counterlung D-rings" that were not in use and came up with this alternative - and less expensive - "Armadillo" system.
Took it for a spin yesterday and clipping on and off the stages was very easy. It seems that the angle of the D-rings is just right - or at least for my a..

Cheers
Soren
