Firstly, I ordered directly off the website and chose the Kam Lock RV6/RV7/RV9/RV14 restraints with Pads in the Pro Series with Black Hardware (2" width). I called Crow to ask a bit more detailed information on the 2" aluminum adjusters and the response was they were a cleaner look than the steel, however he mentioned there was not much if any weight savings. Since I really wanted the red pull tabs, I opted to stick with the steel adjusters.
Taking them out of the bag, they are just beautiful.
Straight away much of my pre-order concerns where taken care
of at first glance. The Kam lock itself is much nicer that previous pictures as
looks to be similar to those used on the Hooker Harness setup. The diameter is
2 5/16" and they are about 1 1/4" thick. In my opinion not cumbersome at all.
I was most happy with the attachment fittings. Reading past
reviews it seemed that modification was required for the bolts but it seems
that this has now been rectified. The crotch strap is not sewn at the bottom
attach point allowing it to be adjustable and have that fitting in the pre-cut
opening of the Van's attach bracket. The crotch strap attachment fitting is
drilled for an AN5 bolt.
The lap belt and shoulder harness attachment fittings are
slightly smaller and allow for an AN4 bolt.
I pulled out the scale and one complete set of belts (for
one person) weighs 1585 grams or 3lbs 7.9oz.
