Mystic Harnesses - Firestarter vs. Warrior 2

Hey Everyone!

I'm thinking about trading in my Prolimit harness for a Mystic. I'm looking for input on the Firestarter and Warrior 2. I saw a thread on another forum about the clicker bar coming "un-clicked" under load but it was from 2008 and they've probably fixed the problem. Does anyone have any additional info so I can make an informed decision? Thanks in advance!

Hey man

Can't speak for the Warrior 2, but love my Firestarter.
Has never come unclipped.
When its done up tight it hardly moves, has never ridden up.
Only complaint I have is winters coming up here and my medium won't fit over my winter jacket.

I got a Warrior 2 Harness and it is quite awesome. Very comfortable, probably one of the best in comfortableness if you ask around.
Mine is a the older one without the clicker, but I have heard some bad things about it. The 07 and 08 didn't have the clickers I think.

I was wondering about the size too. A medium will be fine in boardshorts and up to a 4/3 wetsuit but a jacket or drysuit? I dunno. Will a large be too big and ride up without the extra padding? Maybe I need to pack the pounds on during the summer and go lean during the winter?

I can't really figure out what the difference is between the Firestrater and the Warrior 2. No stores to try them on.
