Seat Harness

Dagon - 15-4-2010 at 03:24 PM

I have a 33" waist and I need a new harness, any recommendations for purchase would be appreciated. I am looking for good comfort here. I had a small dakine storm and it was uncomfortable.

You should hold out for one of the new PL harnesses

They are scheduled to be out early May, but the volcano may frigg things up- next week will tell unless the big one blows.

You might have seen them at NABX. Low bulk diaper style to fit in a buggy seat without cramming.

I have the Dakine XL really like it

WIllardTheGrey - 19-4-2010 at 05:48 PM

I have the waist/seat version of this and really like it the only difference between the two sofar as I can tell is a bit of extra fabric on the bottom to form a seat.

I have the Dakine fusion as well. I forget I'm wearing it after a while. I had it on most of the day saturday and noticed my back was feeling realy good. Good suport.

I've got the fusion but I don't think it fits in the buggy well, way too bulky and forces me to sit in an unnatural position. The shape is great for atb or water which is where I use it. The storm it too high and thick for me. For the buggy u like the HQ harness. Simple, thin, out of the way, gets the job done. (I'm
a 34")

You mustn't include a certain unmentionable bodily orifice in your "private" places :lol: mine gets wedged so far up, I sometimes wonder if it has the appropriate permits for such deep-core mining ...!

Most of the time it's good though ...

Hey Kami your not supposed to fold it into a thong :spin: Mine never creaps up like that. But I don't do the ATB or jumping. But the padding is so wide there I'm not sure how it could :dunno:

Kamikuza - 21-4-2010 at 05:51 PM

Right down the bottom (so to speak) of the harness, where the leg straps join the body - there a strap that seems to function to pull the cheeks together ... that's the bugger that gets all intimate after I get yoinked. I had it sorted last season but can't remember if all the way out is better than all the way in. The strap, that is, not the wedgie.

Hey Kami you get your harness yet?

Kamikuza - 21-4-2010 at 11:39 PM

Not yet no. Still gotta call the local guy and see what this month's story is :lol:

Feyd - 22-4-2010 at 04:05 AM

Kami's Dakine Kite Thong. (Shudder)

I wonder how the Dakine Harness Shorts would work for you buggy guys out there. They're wicked low profile and damn comfortable.

Kamikuza - 22-4-2010 at 06:05 AM

You know, I can get pictures if that'll help the mental images ...
