Folding Field Seat Overview and SetupUpdated a month ago

The FHF Folding Field Seat is designed for comfort, versatility, and seamless integration with your Apex Belt system. Whether you're running the belt as a standalone setup or have an additional pack, lumbar pack, or E4 attached, this seat easily connects and adjusts to your setup. With multiple attachment points and adjustable tension, you can customize the fit for maximum stability and comfort in the field. 

Key Features:

• Compatible with the Apex Belt, Lumbar Pack, and Hydration Pack in tandem (works with or without suspenders).
• Adjustable gatekeeper buckles for a secure and customized fit.
• Multiple attachment options to accommodate different pouch and pack setups.
• Magnetic buckles & split-bar design for easy, quick-release functionality.  

FHF Folding Field Seat Setup Instructions:

Step 1: Attach the Lower Gatekeeper Buckles

1. Open the adjustable gatekeeper buckles by pushing on the metal piece and squeezing the buckle.
2. Locate the loops under the compression straps at the bottom of the Apex Belt.
3. Slide the gatekeeper buckles through these loops and adjust the length based on your body size and gear setup.
4. Keep them loose for now if you need to fine-tune adjustments later.

Step 2: Attach the Upper Magnetic Buckles

1. Identify the tab on the Apex Belt—this is where the split-bar buckle will attach.
2. Thread the split-bar buckle through the tab and suspender loop (if using suspenders).
3. Secure the buckle by pulling it over the top—a small tool (like forceps from a fishing kit) can help with tight fits.
4. Repeat this process for the upper webbing loop on the other side.

Step 3: Adjust for Additional Gear Compatibility

• If using a pouch on the belt: Instead of attaching directly to the belt, attach the seat to the suspender loop to avoid interference.
• If using a hydration pack: Attach the lower seat loops to the belt and connect the upper attachment points to the hydration pack webbing for better positioning.
• For maximum flexibility: Attach the upper connection to the side of the hydration pack, keeping it clear of other pouches while ensuring quick and easy access.

Step 4: Fine Tune your Setup for Maximum Comfort
The key to getting the most out of your Folding Field Seat is customizing the attachment points for your specific loadout. Make sure:

• The seat is easily reachable.
• Nothing interferes with pouches or additional gear.
• You can attach and detach the seat effortlessly.
