Prelude outfitting?

Post by heathkocan »

Hello,
I recently purchased a used Prelude. It came with the pyrhanna bulkhead system. The knee pockets only come up about a third of my thigh. This seems to produce two problems. First is that my hips are quit loose, second is that with my hips being loose and nothing holding my upper thigh down it is difficult to roll, or should I say that I cannot roll it. Any advice on how to correct this would be appreciated.

Add a lapstrap, make it from two old PFD harnesses joined together seems to do the trick for me.

There are other solultions, but the above is the cheapest and easiest by a long way.
