loose so you can fall out of it

I tighten mine as much as I can when it is dry because it loosens up when it is wet.

If it is too tight when you are riding it will get dragged up over your ribs then get stuck there and you can't breathe and it feels like ****.

If it is a little loose it can ride up but it comes straight back down again when you bring the kite down.

If it is too loose it will slide all over the place and also feel pretty bad.

A little too loose is better than too tight.

Thats interesting. I bought a waist harness for windsurfing, but found it hard to breathe and got asthma. I have worn a seat harness ever since.

When kiting with a waist harness, does cause a problem with the length of chicken loop, and bar position?

Tight as, bro !!!
Sorry, got sidetracked by the fully funny thread...
The actual answer is tight enough to be uncomfortable so that when it gets wet and loosens a bit, it still won't move around and thus cause a lot of the issues that people tend to have with waist harnesses...
Or tight enough that it stays under your ribs...

tyte like a tyger.
