Drop Dee for Shoulder Straps
Item: SR-1, SR-90
.jpg){kind=small}
.jpg){kind=small}
Description
The SR-1 is a rigid, easy to hit ring with only 1-1/4" of standoff at approximately 10°, yet it will accommodate the largest clips and carabineers.
It offers the most efficient means for slinging bottles to the harness. Especially popular with mitted, cold water divers. Readily accepts standard 2" webbing. May be comfortably located any where on the shoulder because of its contoured back, and locks positively on the web - will not slide down even with a load of stage bottles. Works well in combination with the WR-2, (left).
Also available in the SR-90 model featuring a 2" standoff at 90°.
Fixed Waist Staging Ring
Item: WR-2, WR-90

Description
Fixed Waist Staging Ring is the complimentary partner to the Shoulder Drop Dee (SR-1).
Used as upper and lower clip-off locations for slinging bottles, together they allow the diver efficient one-handed stage bottle management. Hunting for the D-ring with one hand and clipping off with the other is history. The WR-2 may be positioned comfortably anywhere on the waist belt or directly over the hip because of its contoured base. Ring is oriented at approximately 40° to the base plate. Positively locks on standard 2" web.
Very popular with cold water, mitted divers.
The Polygon
Item: P-2
Description
The Polygon effectively manages the intersection of the shoulder strap, sternum strap and lower chest strap.
If you have ever struggled to don a harness that used 2" round rings at this location, you will enjoy the effortless freedom of getting into/out-of your harness.
The sternum strap placement on a drysuit diver is critical. It should not interfere with access to the inflator quick release coupling. The ends of the sternum strap terminate in the Polygons, which are the landmarks around which the harness is constructed.
The "Side Car"
Item: PS-2
Description
The Polygon is also available with a small utility ring welded to the inside. It is a popular SPG clip-off location with divers preferring to cross their chest with the HP hose.
