Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JerryBaumchen 1,053 #5 March 3, 2007 Hi mktoson, This is nothing negative towards you, just a thought. Since the 'floating laterals' are a piece of webbing that are stitched into place at each end, at the container, while going around the hip ring; just what do they do? Both ends are fixed, I do not see what they accomplish. But I've had 'riggers blank' before (kind of like writer's blank but for us folks).

Depending on, how much or little clothing you have on it will fit like a glove. Also "prevents a line or bridle from getting caught on the sidebody."

On most cut in laterals on rigs, you will see the rig floating off peoples backs, especially in a sit. The lateral is curved around your back, so when it straightens, it moves away from your back. With the new infinity style, it is cut in for comfort and to keep the rig from shifting, and attached straight to the corners to keep it from coming off your back. And by having it floating, I am sure it makes it easier to make and makes for a very comfortable yet secure fit. Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!"
