Skater Comfort Seat
The Skater Comfort Seat is an adjustable comfort seat intend-
ed to provide additional comfort for the user when wearing a
harness for a prolong amount of time. The comfort seat is not
Personal Protective Equipment.
The seat must only be used in combination with a harness and
need to be attached to the Ventral D-ring when descending
or when used in rope access where you will be ascending as
well descending you can clip in to the ventral D-ring and the
Quicklink that comes with the harness and attaches the Sternal
D-ring to the ventral D-ring. Be aware that in this mode you
could damage the webbing of your harness and therefore it is
important to monitor the webbing closely and stop using the
harness if it does get damaged.
The seat can not be used on its own!
Use only as instructed and with compatible items of equip-
ment. These should conform to relevant standards in the coun-
try you are in. Check that the safe function of any one com-
ponent within a system will not interfere with safe function of
another, twists in the webbing and buckles fastened incorrectly
can cause problems, weakness, serious injury or death.
User should be trained, competent or under the supervision
of such person.
Use
Preparing the Skater Comfort Seat for use:
• Do a pre-use inspection of the seat and make sure it is in good
condition.
• Check that this product can be used with the equipment your
about to use.
• Use a rated & certied connector to connect to your harness.
After connecting make sure the gates are locked.
• Make sure there is no entanglement of any components so
they will work properly.
• There should be 5cm of webbing left after the buckle, if not
do not use the seat.
• Do not tighten the straps when not on rope to prevent the
seat from breaking due to overloading. The angle forces you
learned from rigging apply here too!
Adjustment
• To adjust the seat suspension straps remove the load rst.
• To shorten the suspension strap pull the free end of the straps
upwards through the buckle.
• To lengthen the strap push the buckle outwards.
• It is best to keep the straps a long as possible as the seat will
be more stable. The tighter the seat the more movability you
get.
• Place the seat directly under the top of the thigh. Positioning
the seat further down, the thigh can have negatives eects on
the stability of the user.
• For walking loosen up the straps and hang up the harness to
the accessory loop with a connector.
