The key design element in the Contour is the sacrum adjustment plate, which utilizes Curv material that brings our hard-shell harness DNA into a seat harness.

More compact than other seat harnesses, fitting lower on the hips for added freedom, and has a secure, easy-to-adjust belt entry and adjustable padded leg loops.
