Girls,

Im really wanting ur advice and honest opinions on what chicks wasit harness you use and how it compares 2 other ones you have used in the past.

My DaKine Tempest Seat harness is awesome but wanting a waist one now =]

I know there is the DaKine Wahine ? or similar and a few other brands around too. Just wondering what you all wear, and how comfy they are. I am a small in seat harness, and I've tried the guys medium (massive with my tiny 6" spreader bar) and the small guys and they are also massive and squisage problem too...

Thanks heapppss =D

Prolimit all the way, tried seat and waist.

Waist is best

Molds to your waist area, great padding, comes in XS

All round I rate this the most

My sister and chick mates would too

Ladies

I also went from the dakine tempest seat to a waist. I tried many and went for the North Styler and I love it. I'll never go back. The styler is narrow, has gell pads and is super comfortable.

I tried the Dakine women's waist harness - borrowed off a friend. It was really comfy because it was narrower than the men's one.It still rode up though, and I've not found one that doesn't - I still use a waist harness from time to time, they are just too annoying for long term use for me!

Hey, I have a dakine waist harness and it's good. Used to have a north but got old and wasn't supporting me. Tried the new mystic chicks waist but it sat on my hip bones and wasn't very comfortable.

I would try all of them on and see which one suits your body shape......it's a bit more of a necessity as a woman to ensure it fits our curves right. Whatever you do don't go for a guys harness they're not designed the same way......unless you're shaped like a man!!!

I'm using the Dakine Wahine.... converted from the Dakine Temptest. I hated the waist harness the first few times I used it, as it rode up and squashed my lunges with was extremely painful. After a few weeks, I found I had to put it on really tight and stick it under the ribs. Now I love it.. so comfy! Most importantly, make sure you get the spreader bar pad to go with it!!
