I took the wires out of my two Aarn sports balance pockets and now they don’t seem to fit!

The wires each have a flat bit on the top, with a bend on one side and a curled end on the other.

For the left balance pocket (looking at it when the pack is being worn - which is how they are shown in the photo) which side does the bend in the wire go - pointing to the centre or pointing to the left? Is it the opposite for the right-hand one?

Hi, the wires in my sports balance pockets go exactly as you have pictured. The v-shaped bend points to the left or right of the body, not the centre. The wires are bent slightly so that the pockets bulge a little and create an air gap rather than sitting flush on the chest.

Thank you.

Looking at the faint lines (which I’ve just noticed) where the wires used to be, I suspect mine were lined up with both bends pointing to the left - rather than each one pointing to the outside...
