Not sure if this is an original concept or not but I will try it out in the water this weekend. The conversation about using Quick Release buckles got me to thinking. Also, the fact that my harness catches on my dry suit.
The solution I have uses the regular webbing that comes with my harness, 2 solid D rings, and 2 of those brackets you weave the webbing through to hold the bracket in place. If you get two D rings the same size this does work though it takes a bit of figiting to coax when the webbing is stiff.
Simply put the 2 D rings on one side strap, several inches apart. Twist the lower D ring sideways and thread it *through* the upper D ring. This works because the width between the straight part and the curved part is narrower than the width between the two angles of the D. When you need the extra length of webbing to release, just twist the D ring back through.
It seems like a good theory and works great when I'm sitting on the living room floor. We'll see how it works in the water.
ciao!
