Hi all, Im looking to teach the little lady kiting this summer (so we can actually see each other) and was looking for some chick harness recommendations. Was thinking a seat harness but am interested to know your thoughts?
check out the maui magic harness - its a waisty specific for chicks that one of the girls here swears by. One of the main features is a satin lining on the inside so they don't rash up...
I used to wear a Dakine Fushion seat harness =] I currently use a LF Chicks waist harness, and love it; it provides enough padding and support. Really, anything with a lot of back padding and support would be great for her imho; just needs to get used to it on her hips and do it up tight enough. :) Liz
Firstly good on ya for getting the misses into kiting if you go a seat harness make sure its got the satin lining on the straps between the legs as funkyllama said. I had a seat harness there for a bit, and lost a strip of skin either side of my inner upper leg, even thro a wetty. Looked like two burn lines. (not a good look when strutting ur stuff in a bikini etc....) So now I have a waist harness and love it. Tho they could make chick harnesses a bit smaller. I aint the skinniest chicks, but my XS is still a tad to big!! My waist harness is pretty compfy, nice broad back and very compfy... tho a thicker strap at the front so the bar, or end of the donkey dick cant dig in would be an improvement. My harness is a Pure Girl made by Prolimit. Jessie
We have got stock of the new Maui Magic Luna Waist harnies for the ladies. They are a beautiful harness in every sense of the word. I have them in all sizes if you'd like to get her to try them on.
We also have Pat Love Eve harnesses for the ladies in stock as well as a few older Flying Objects Sapphire harnesses which are a little dated in design, especially when compared to the Luna or the Eve, but lots of ladies raved about the Sapphires in their day so maybe worth a look too. Certainly a lot cheaper.
It's good to try on a few different ones, you can never be too careful with harnesses as a harness that isn't comfortable will really spoil her day every time she rides.
I thought you told me it was so she would be comfortable when the safetys connected to the kitchen cupboard handle - your on your own with that one buddy
"i aint the skinniest of chicks, but my XS still is to big" give me a break!
I suppose you could be right tho, i'm a fatty boom baa and i fit into a medium harness.
ans'd ur own sarcasm "fatty boom baa" (I can see how u read that wrong-I wasn't saying i'm fat, I'm recon i'm fit and slim, but i kno a lot of other chicks with a smaller waist... ) So what do those girls do??
The Pat Love Eve XS and Flying Objects Sapphire XS are so tiny I reckon they'd fit a 10 YO Ethiopian girl with an eating disorder. If they are too large on you, you have bigger problems than not being able to find a harness that fits!
I had both a seat, and then a waist harness in Dakine and it was fairly comfortable. Their quality was ****e though - I tore the webbing on the seat harness in half the second time I used it - sending one of the spreader clips to the bottom of the ocean and leaving me unhooked and overpowered. I wouldn't get another one. Both Dakine harnesses were reinforced about three times during their lives. So; Dakine: very comfy but poor quality.
Now I use a flogged men's North waist harness. It is the most comfy thing I have ever used. I know several women who use men's north harnesses and swear by them (in a good way).
Hi Guys and Gals, thanks for the feedback/suggestions. Its interesting to hear a lot of ladies liking the new waist harnesses. i was always of the thought that seat harnesses were the preffered option for the ladies . I will bring my young lady into your shop kitehard to try a few on. Im sure the colur of the harness will be a big selling point for her.
