DSS Glide Harness Adapter makes getting in and out of your hogarthian rig easier

Some people prefer their hog harness to be 'bondage' tight.  This makes a backplate/wing buoyancy compensator a bit harder to put on and off, though I must say that with little practice it becomes second nature.  In this post I will not get into the techniques of getting in and out of your bc in and out of the water; neither will I discuss the many merits of a hogarthian harness on a technical bcd.

There is an argument from hog harness detractors that in a rescue of an unconscious diver wearing a hog rig, it may be difficult to remove the equipment.  Proponents argue back saying the webbing can quickly be cut by a knife in such a situation.  Along comes the Deep Sea Supply glide harness adapter which should finally settle the dispute and hopefully satisfy everyone.

Simple all stainless steel construction.

Can be used on right or left side of the back plate.

Adjustment requires substantial effort, unintentional harness slippage is avoided.

Not compatible with DSS Kydex back plates or with any other brand of back plates. Mounting requires holes that are only present in DSS Stainless Steel Plates.

Works best with slightly softer harness webbing. DSS Hogarthian Harnesses sold starting April 2010 includes this slightly softer webbing. If your harness was purchased prior to April 2010 it is recommended that the harness webbing be replaced. DSS offers a package deal that includes one adpater and 12 ft of new replacement webbing.

The DSS Glide Harness Adapter is available as an option on a Deep Sea Supply bc rig, contact HYDROFIT SCUBA for inquiries and sales.
