To All,

My original seat harness has seen a couple of good seasons and starting to wear out so it's time to look for another.
I currently have a flying Objects, anyone got any opions on what's good and what's out now in the seat harnesses??

I'm sure my arse is a different shape to yours so the only way to find the right one is to try em all out. Make sure the shop has a chicken loop attached to the wall so you can simulate being hooked in.

I've got a Da Kine Fusion seat harness which I find pretty comfy and tough, its into its 3rd season now and going strong. Also comes with a rope/hook knife which could be handy if you get tangled up in yours or someone elses lines.

try a waist harness. it will feel weird at first but heaps better than getting ya nuts pushed up into your stomach. dakine are the most comfortable ones i have ever tried. tabu seems to be a very popular model .

Try the Prolimit waist - the spreader bar is simple and effective... the new North harnesses are dynamite too! Stylers.

The DaKine nitrous is quality comfort, ez on the nuts and they look cool.

The bar seems to be right in the ideal possition for a waste harness (abs), but that might be cos mine are tooo big for me. But if they weren't I think they would still be higher than a normal seat... probably between the seat and waste.

I think ECB have them in stock.

PS: U can have mine for a good price (only used 2x) if your waste is 36-38 (L) I need the medium 32-34.

i think if you've had no probs with your nuts gett'n squashed, then why change to a waist where your ribs can get squashed, bruised and broken :) try the dakine seats they are really comfy, i prefer the smaller ones, vice the larger ones, ie the small cut back, does make a huge difference vs the high cut which is supposed to give more support, but is real bulky and can feel like its getting in the way sometimes
