Advance Seven harness and container

" ... They also have an interesting option to order with either type 7 or type 8 harness material, the type 8 being softer & more flexible. Not sure how that's done -- Other brands have done things like having the stiffer, stronger type 7 for the main lift webs, but doubled soft type 8 for chest and leg straps.

Type7 can be very flexible however the majority of type7 that is made is actually type7R. The R being an added resin that helps against wear and tear, it also makes it less flexible.

Type 8 webbing is plenty strong enough for most skydiving harnesses. A former Mirage employee even showed me some drop-test results proving that double Type 8 main lift webs can survive harder opening shocks because "they stretch more."

However, Type 8 is not as durable so that is why most manufacturers sew a layer of Type 7 or Type 13 to the front of MLWs, to improve abrasion resistance when harnesses are dragged across the packing floor.

A single layer of Type 8 webbing is strong enough for most chest straps, but modern harnesses usually use two layers (of Type 8) to reduce slippage through buckles. Remember that most MIL SPEC hardware was designed for bulky, cotton Type 13 webbing, which is far thicker and rougher - and resists slippage much better - than modern nylon webbing.

Hi BKR,

Can you explain the main bag to me? Is it 3 stows and then remainder of the lines in the pouch?

Also, on the main pack tray, where is the closing loop positioned?

Thanks!

Hello Zoobrothertom,

you got it, the stows to close the mouth of the bag and the remaining into the pouch. We are working on a new one without any stows and no tongs. Main loop is on the upper small flap.

closing loop is located on the main upperflap. The main tray container pic you see on BKR´s e mail.
The loop is not in place but it´s located there.
