Default Crow shoulder harnesses

Hi all-
Getting ready to order shoulder harnesses. Have a 9A with crotch strap kit installed. Was wondering what others with my a/c and 5-pt attachment have done (Crow vs. VANS). When ordering from Crow is there someone particular to speak with (like for BONACO)?

Thanks.
Peter K
9 A

I ordered a set of 5-point cam lock harnesses last week. I spoke with Fred Crow and he knew just what I needed. He said the order would go out in a few days, so hopefully they'll be here sometime this week

Fred Crow is the man..

Some of the options you need to research by looking at all the threads on the Crows:

Keep in mind that most of these options are normally done at no charge (not including the camlock latch and strap pads)

Color
Y or V shoulder harnesses
Pull up or pull down adjusters on both the lap belt and shoulder straps
Camlock or Military latch
Anchor point hole size
Extra length on the shoulder straps
Extra length between the lap belt mount point and the adjusters
Extra length on the lap belt for bubba factor
Strap Pads, either slip on or sewn on

I am sure there are many more but this is a few things to concider. Tons of threads out there to let you know what you need to figure out.
