So I can get my winter gear from Falls Creek village to Pretty Valley, 8 kilometers along the road but a lot of weight sometimes, up to 135 kilos once with a sled train
Mind you I stopped pulling both sleds fairly soon and did the leap frog thing
main requirement is that it is strong enough to cope with the load plus shock-loading and that it doesn't fall down
One of the reasons for what looks like excess webbing is that it can be adjusted for multiple layers of clothing if that is even necessary and different body sizes
The shoulder harness is mainly so it doesn't slip down but it does help when heaving the sled to start off
The loops on the hips attach to the eyebolt on the sled pulling bars with a carabiner, you push the loop through the eye then slide the krab through the loop
I haven't started work on a new sled yet but they only take a few hours/days to make using old skis
