Hi guys, just replaced the rope on stealth harness
Taught I'd share what I've done for you guys who are concerned about the rope suddenly snapping.I've added a second ring to the small middle rope meaning the chicken loop now passes through both rings.
the pull will still be mainly on the long outer rope but should it fail it will then be taking up by secondary ring on short rope.interested to hear peoples taughts

Nice - but you're reducing how far it can slide aren't you?

I drilled some extra holes on my ion slider bar and put another rope in, looser than the main one. it sees no load but when the other one breaks it then works fine. I only really did it for a mauritius trip where failure is more consequential, the rest of the time i'm not too fussed, if it breaks I turn the harness around and put the chicken loop through the grab handle at the back... Works fine to get you home.

Yes that is correct,I use mine for foiling so never use as a slider,just fixed.works a treat,no more uncomfortable hook digging in

I thought the slider idea was ideal for foiling.
I love the freedom when going toeside.
so restricted slide is not my choice.

simply two ropes one ring works best.

More race foil than freestyle is what I do.still have the option to use the slider rope,just means I loop into 1 ring rather than 2

You will have another mode of failure before that rope fails.
