DumpsterDiver,
From your post, it seems pretty clear to me...... the last thing you need is a PonyPak. So relax....the solution is to ignore it, instead of continually writing about it!
Re the "Patented Clips:" what you do not see (which is what happens when opinions are not based upon actually seeing or using the product).... is the bottom of the "dog clip", through which the straps are threaded, without a strap adjuster. The patented is granted in the US... and by the end of 2016, will complete the granting process in Europe, Russia, China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, Singapore, Canada, Indonesia, India and more.
Below is the front page of the US Patent. The Patent drawings are always the most simplified representation... They do not represent how the device is actually manufactured.
To the right is the second- substantially revised version of the center clip (used on the underside) that was filed internationally last April. If you want to look it up, the International Application Number is PCT/IB2014/061609. It is actually the world's first insert-able D-ring. You can insert a D-ring anywhere - without disassembling the harness. The loop section at the end.. is where the ITW quick releases, snap in, that connect to the bottom side of the PonyPak.
Please don't ask me how they work. We will have "real" videos in the future.
I appreciate your asking the questions you have. Thank you.
