On a liveaboard week with three or four dives a day, unpadded webbing is dry again by the next briefing. Packed for a flight, the harness lies flat in a wing bag without foam pads adding bulk. For a diver who later wants padding, Tecline's separate shoulder pads are made to fit the Comfort Eco. The set carries seven elastic bands for accessories, two bent D-rings and one straight D-ring on six tri-glides, a bungee loop for the inflator hose, a stainless buckle and a crotch strap. The backplate is sold separately. It suits a diver who wants an adjustable harness with nothing extra on the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: adjustable Comfort Eco harness, no shoulder pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment: at both shoulders and at the waist, through adjusting D-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD-rings: two bent and one straight, on six tri-glides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtras: bungee loop for the inflator hose, seven elastic accessory bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle: stainless steel Tecline buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrotch strap: included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulder pads: available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackplate and wing: sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 waist straps with adjusting D-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 adjusting D-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 bent D-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 straight D-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 tri-glides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBungee loop for the inflator hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 elastic accessory bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel Tecline buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTecline crotch strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TECLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67575242195257,"sku":"T15049-1","price":3989.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1730\/8473\/files\/uprzaz-tecline-comfort-eco-bez-plyty.jpg?v=1790774079"},{"product_id":"tecline-comfort-mini-harness","title":"Comfort Mini Harness","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA harness cut for a tall adult leaves a small diver with D-rings too low on the chest and waist straps running out of adjustment.

In the water that ballast sits along the spine, over the cylinder, rather than on a belt. For a winter season of cold inland dives, the heavier plate can replace a good part of the lead a 3 mm plate would need alongside it. On a twinset the padded, adjustable Comfort harness gives a comfortable alternative to a one-piece harness while the plate adds weight.

On a liveaboard week in tropical water, the light plate keeps the rig easy to lift on and off a crowded dive deck. In a pool training session, students of different sizes can share it, because the Comfort harness adjusts at the shoulders and waist in moments. The soft shoulder pads stay comfortable over a rash vest as well as over a thicker suit. The plate measures 40 by 26 cm, the size Tecline recommend for divers over 170 cm.
