Ok I'l give you the low down on the Dakine Nitrous Harness... I've been using one for over a year now... I'l never go back to a regular seat harness again...
The hook/spreader bar is dropped down to your hips, best place for it in kiting, seeing as the hips are the basis for all control in kiting, it's where you get the power from. Another bonus for having the spreader down on your hips is it's away from your ribs. If you have not broken any ribs yet you dont know the pain and frustration I'm talking about. I know you probably thinking seat harness's crush your man hood (not sure what they do to the fairer sex, but it cant be good !) Well Dakine has solved that problem as there is an additional strap inside the shorts where all the straps are hidden. This strap pull's your butt cheeks together and prevents even the most horrific of wedgee's.
When your wearing a pair of Nitrous shorts you dont feel like your wearing a harness at all, just a pair of shorts. I dont know about your but in summer just heading out in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt gives you so much freedom. There is absolutly no pull like you experience on either a regular seat harness or a waist harness, the harness stays where it is suppose to be. And In winter wearing a wetty under your Nitrous shorts, just feels like your wearing a wetty...
The quality of this harness is excellent as always from Dakine. It comes with a hook knife in the pocket on the leg, Which is also very good for keeping a key to your car in... There is two rings you can hook you leash onto or either make up a handle pass leash to fit which I did as I did not want to wreck the handle that came with it...
I know of a shop in Perth that sell's them, I would also reconmend getting the power clip for the spreader bar...
