blue109 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 calling tom...ranger stuff here. got a good deal on a Eagle H harness. it's the real deal RLCS one the rangers were getting for a while. I never had any high speed stuff like this when I was in. question, where does the belt/waist part sit? does it sit low at the hips like a normal belt? or up above?
blue109 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) this thing has enough adjustment for someone 6'5" & 400# Edited April 23, 2015 by blue109
unforgiven Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 I likey that borhter Mike,where id you find it ??? Even for my tool rig setup I use suspenders to distribute the weight.Works great.
bubbasks Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Send it to me and ill test that claim for size lol
blue109 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 it was on a surplus site. unclesamsretailoutlet.com I had a nice coupon, and it's free shipping over $100, so I grabbed it to push me over lol. that free shipping gimmick gets me every time!
blue109 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 I was expecting some joke along the lines of "it has to be big enough to fit a rangers ego" :D
shibiwan Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Step into it like a pair of pants, each leg through one side of the harness, and pull it up in a quick, jerking motion!! <lmao> <laughs>

Personal preference on adjustment, but... I wear mine high, and always had them setup that way, for jumping purposes. Easier to rig into a chute harness that way. Less schit flapping all over the place when you left the aircraft. Once you take a canteen right in the face at 130 knots, you readjust your gear as soon as you get back... <lmao>

Makes it easy to enter/exit armored vehicles without getting caught on something.
Toolndie7 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I just laughed out loud picturing a canteen slapping him in the face <laughs> on a side note: Thanks for sharing that website Blue, That place looks like trouble. Edited April 23, 2015 by Toolndie7
blue109 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) tool....sometimes they have whole categories at 30% off. it's bad news lol. I check the deal of the day at midnight every day. if it's a really good one they are gone in a few minutes. the other day was brand new gortex bivy bags for sleeping bags for $25. those things are amazing. we moved too much for tents, so it was usually openn sky and a bivy bag in any weather. never an issue.

98Z5V Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Oh man...was it one good smack or flapping in the wind, with your face as one of the distance stops? I can't remember - it's usually "white noise" when you get out of the plane, and I know that fucker hit me right before my chute opened - it knocked me stupid, and I lost that "tight body position" immediately. So, with arms and legs hanging out where they're not supposed to be, it completely fucked up my "aerodynamic flight pattern..." Then my chute opened... My risers were twisted from the pack tray all the way up to the damn canopy. It took several hundred feet of altitude to unfuck that one. When I got back to the chute truck to throw that thing in there, the smartass in the back of the truck says, "I don't ever think I've seen someone get THAT physically fucked up by a parachute, and not lawn-dart! You look like you just lost a bar fight!" I didn't think it was funny at the time, but when I looked in a mirror later, I could see what he was talking about - side of my head was ALL puffed up! <lmao> I declared that particular canteen a direct spawn of Satan, and melted it down in a fire, just to get my vengeance on it. Oh, and I reconfigured my gear.

Matt.Cross Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 I still can't understand why you crazy bastards jump out of a perfectly good airplane.... Fastest way to get from A to B and all that...
planeflyer21 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 I still can't understand why you crazy bastards jump out of a perfectly good airplane.... Because you're piloting the C-130.
Rsquared Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Because you're piloting the C-130. No, No, No. Ain't no way we're letting him fly the damn plane. I mean, we already know how his people drive. <lmao>

blue109 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 Cant seem to get this thing feeling right. I think im a liitle too slim for it. Probably going to try and trade it off for a belt setup.
blue109 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Posted May 1, 2015 Difference is that is a belt with a suspension harness. The eagle H harness has more of a cummerbund than a belt.
Sisco Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Difference is that is a belt with a suspension harness. The eagle H harness has more of a cummerbund than a belt. That is what I wanted. Vests and cumberbunds get too hot for me to use when the temp goes above 75 F. So I stiched D rings to my favorite molle belt and added a set of molle shoulder straps to distribute weight. Works great when I have to pack in to find a shooting spot, and I can carry a suprising amount.
jtallen83 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I still can't understand why you crazy bastards jump out of a perfectly good airplane.... One of the worst beatings I've ever taken was in riding in the back of a track running full bore cross country....wanted to kick that drivers a$$.
blue109 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Posted May 10, 2015 I just discovered the modular assault pack that mounts right to this harness, so its back in the keeper pile. Looks like a kick ass setup.
