Default Re: 2nd Attachment point options

Hi DBS, the reason the line attached to the centre D's is better relates to the way the harness spreads the load through your hips, if you merely add the 2nd TIP to the side D's the stress and strain you'll feel will be intensified, having the front and centre attachment (though of course it will move with sliding D's) allows you to relieve some of the strain felt directly through your hips....working with heavy large timbe for prolonged periods any small respite you can find is a godsend.
