Padded Backpack Harness / Small-Medium

H255 Multi Size and H245 Small/Medium Padded harness constructed of thick 16mm (5/8") closed-cell foam.Outside is covered on the top with nonabrasive water-repellent 430D nylon pack cloth. Inside surface (which faces your body) is made from Superknit, a soft Polyester moisture-wicking foam-backed fabric.2-way adjustable sternum strap.Snap-hooks are provided to attach a pouch or case to the front. These snap-hooks are vertically adjustable or removable.H130 strap is recommended when used with a long lens case. Long lens case users note: These harnesses will attach to long lens cases: L311, L511, L320, L321, L520, L521, L525, L526, L630, L631 or L621. Will not attach to pre-2000 model cases which include L300, L302, L400, L402, L600, L602 or L603. This harness functions in three modes: 1. Backpack Mode-converts a tripod or long lens case into a backpack (this is primary design of this harness). The H160 "back" adapter is NOT needed here. 2. Suspender Mode (the H344 is less bulky and just as comfortable). A "front & H160 back" harness is required and attaches to any padded Kinesis waist belt. 3. Chest Harness Mode (This is a dated design as the newer H717 is much more comfortable for carrying loads in the front). A "front, back" (complete harness) & H153 kit are required. A waist belt (shown) is NOT required, but provides more stability. The foam pad covers an aluminum spacer bar that is sewn into the harness and provides comfort from the weight of the front load. The front load or case invariably pulls down, which causes the back of the harness to go up. SpecificationsH245: 254 g (9 oz.) H250: 280 g (10 oz.) The length of padded portion of the H245 is 38cm (15") and for the H250 it is 46cm (18"). *Note to existing pre-1999 Kinesis customers: All Kinesis Black Belts or Heavy-duty Belts shipped directly from us since April 1999 feature a slight modification to accommodate this new harness system.
