The BariSling is available to purchase in two different sizes depending on the user's weight:
Size | Left vest width (cm) | Recommended user weight (kg) |
XXX-Large | 190 - 280cm | 180 - 300kg |
XXXX-Large | 230 - 310cm | 250 - 570kg |
Please note that though the sling can handle loads of up to 570kg, the recommended weight guidelines should still be followed.
