If you're experiencing arm/shoulder fatigue maybe try a hipstick, will relieve the strain.

OK ... this is the best that I can explain it. The top clips to the ring on the top breast strap of your harness. The bottom of the stick has a ball on it that acts as a mobile joint. There is a 'slide' kind of clip that slips onto the 'belly' strap part of your harness. (it's a plastic doo-hickey that looks like a big slide peg affraid ) The 'ball joint' sits in that slide clip.

Your bungy strap then clips directly onto the 'stick' at the top. It sounds weird, but it actually works quite well Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
