Description

USWE's NDM 2.1 replacement harness is the front of a USWE NDM 2.1 pack in one piece: the weight-support shoulder straps, the elastic chest straps and the centre NDM buckle. It presses onto the backplate with hook-and-loop, so a pack whose harness has stretched out or torn goes back to riding tight and quiet without replacing the whole pack.

What it is

USWE call this part the Front Strap Kit for the No Dancing Monkey 2.1 harness. Everything else on the pack stays put. To fit it, unclip the chest straps, lift the worn harness off the backplate and press the new one on at the setting that fits your torso, then clip up. The same swap takes a winter-style setup back to its summer configuration.

Who it's for

Anyone carrying a USWE Hajker, Hajker PRO, Hajker Ultra, Brant or Tracker. NDM 2.1 is the USWE harness built around a waist belt for heavier loads, so these are the packs that come out for long, loaded days when spares, layers and water all ride on your back. Packs on NDM 1.0, 1.2 or the 2.0 & Snug-Me harness each take their own USWE harness, so go by the model name on your pack.

Key details

  • Fits: USWE Hajker, Hajker PRO, Hajker Ultra, Brant and Tracker packs on the NDM 2.1 harness
  • Elastic chest straps stretch as you breathe hard and pull back in, keeping the pack snug
  • Weight-support shoulder straps ease pressure on your shoulders
  • NDM buckle is secure and works one-handed
  • Numbered settings 1 to 10 under the hook-and-loop let you match the harness to your torso length
  • Built to work with the NDM 2.1 waist belt for extra stability under load

How it compares

The NDM 2.0 & Snug-Me harness on USWE's Pow, Shred, Flow, Core and Carve uses an all-in-one shoulder and waist strap layout. NDM 2.1 moves the waist support to a belt for heavier carries, which is why the two harnesses are matched to different pack families.

FAQ's

Which USWE packs does the NDM 2.1 harness fit?
The USWE NDM 2.1 replacement harness fits USWE packs built on NDM 2.1: the Hajker, Hajker PRO, Hajker Ultra, Brant and Tracker. Packs on NDM 1.0, 1.2 or 2.0 & Snug-Me take a different USWE harness.

How do I change the harness on a USWE NDM 2.1 pack?
Unclip the chest straps, lift the old harness off the hook-and-loop on the backplate, then press the new USWE NDM 2.1 harness on at your setting and clip the straps back up.

How do I set the USWE NDM 2.1 harness to my size?
The USWE NDM 2.1 harness has numbered positions 1 to 10 under the hook-and-loop. Taller or bigger riders usually settle between 5 and 10, shorter riders between 1 and 5. Measure torso length from hip bone to collarbone as a guide.

What is the difference between the USWE NDM 2.1 and NDM 2.0 harness?
The USWE NDM 2.1 harness works with a waist belt for extra stability when the pack is heavy, and fits the Hajker, Brant and Tracker family. NDM 2.0 & Snug-Me fits the Pow, Shred, Flow, Core and Carve.

Can I convert my winter USWE pack to summer with the NDM 2.1 harness?
Yes. Fitting the USWE NDM 2.1 harness in place of a winter-style harness converts a compatible Hajker, Hajker PRO, Hajker Ultra, Brant or Tracker back to its summer setup.

How should women set up the USWE NDM 2.1 harness?
Women may find a slightly different setting works best on the USWE NDM 2.1 harness. Aim to have the buckle sitting below the chest, and move to a larger setting for a fuller chest.
