FAQ 

Is a harness / backpack more fragile than non-reversible models?
NO!, but when used in backpack mode, it will be more prone to damage with repeated ground contact, therefore, avoid seating on it or throw it to the ground from the top of the school's MiniBus...
One must keep in mind that there always is the possibility to use a regular backpack to protect your cherished reversible harness. Extreme situations will arise when your luggage will be lugged around in vehicle trunks or roof racks traveling bouncy roads.

Tips & Advice 

I hesitate in choosing between two harness sizes. Which of the two is the correct one ?
It is recommended to have a good dorsal support ( without the side adjustment trims creating discomfort under the armpits )… If borderline between two sizes the larger one should do… But, the seating area must not be too wide or loose on the hips which could potentially generate horizontal rolling instability ! The solution would then be to swap the seat-plate by another with the next size down ( from size L to M as an example ). 

Product manual

I find it difficult seating inside my harness right after takeoff. Why ?
If the leg straps are not tight enough and the running phase extended light terrain incline, little or nil wind speed -, the harness will pull back up, rendering the transition from running to seating laborious to manage while raising your knees. Solution: tighten your leg straps !!!
