Note. See Figure 7d through 7j for a graphical description of harness components. The strap adjustment ranges were set to accommodate at least 95% of the estimated population within the specified size categories. The small size was set at 96.5% level (adjustable range = percentile 97.5 – percentile 1.0). The medium size was set at 95% level (adjustable range = percentile 97.5 – percentile 2.5), and the large size was set at 96.5% level (adjustable range = percentile 99 – percentile 2.5). The overall arrangement provides an opportunity to accommodate 98% of the estimated overall population.
