Wondering if i can ask the opinion of a few of you guys,

Ive been kiting for about five - six months and starting to get the confidence up to really try new things, Im currently riding on a liquid force waist harness and it does the trick nicely but im curious about these board short harnesses, I travel quite abit, they look like they fit into a bag abit easier than a waist harness though Ive heard mixed reviews on them, both at extreme opposite ends of the scale, some say they are the best thing since ever, others say they are about as much fun as jamming your left nut in the car door.

So its time for a show down. Whats the verdict?

Keen to hear from anyone who rides on one or has ridden on one and what your thoughts were.

Cheers.

Have sold quite a few but most of the guys that have bought them tend to move to a more comfortable seat harness after a while or back to a waist harness,they tend to be more for the looks than comfort,they do tend to give you a massive wedgie if the winds rockin,if your gonna try one definately get a spreader bar pad as well,best harness i've ever used is a mystic warrior,cant beat it in my opinion.

I think they are great and I love my liquid force shorts. Never pulled a wedgie. Just tighten them up well to avoid bruises on your hips. I find them more comfortable that a seat harness, and waist harnesses just don't work for me. Also, I wear a pair of lycra tights underneath to prevent the straps from shafing between the legs.
