any advice on good back support quality seat harness for free style in ocean.
Been using Dakine over years but quality has dropped a bit.

6 sessions on an ion shorts and it's coming apart' my dakine vega used to last 2/3 ssasons'

I'm onto my 2nd pair of Dakine boardshorts - they are really good and have lasted long enough for me.

I tried the ION ones but they didn't fit me right.

Yep ' not 100% happy how they're positioned compared to dakines' a mate says the same but only found out since wearing them'

My first Fusion lasted three years, the last one looked three years old after a couple of months.

Got a Mystic Star hybrid that's now 5 years old, though I really only been using it the last 2, almost exclusively with the foil. Minimal wear...!

Dakine has the better velcro waist strap "Power Band" and generally fits better ... with the exception of the teeny tiny leg straps.

After 9 years wearing both ion B2 and DaKine nitrous, the nitrous straps are in far better condition than the ion straps which are so frayed they may cause me to have to body drag in soon!

I use sliders and a fixed hook on both depending on wind strength.

I found the b2s more comfortable but the DaKine have lasted better.

Can't complain about 8+ years out of each harness though!
