So, like many people I thought the harness on my Alaska guide creations bag was over kill. The pack also seemed to slide down on my chest alot and the harness would be pressing on my neck. So I just made the first prototype of what I consider the perfect harness. It is minimalist yet doesn't slide down at all and fits under my backpack better.
starting at the top of the pack, i used split bar ladder locks and triglide rings to hold the excess webbing. its a single piece of webbing that goes thru a tri-ring in a v-shape. For the waist straps starting at the pack, i reused the buckles and added more triglide rings again to hold webbing. now for the sewing, i used looplock rings to attach polyester elastic webbing to the nylon webbing. the elastic webbing keeps the pack held tight to my body, even without the top straps. i also don't have to adjust the waist straps because it stretches around layers. sewing with a 1960 cast iron singer with gutterman terra80 and a 110/18 needle.
my sewing sucks, don't judge me.
