Does anyone in alberta, sask. areas know who sells harnesses in this area? Also how universal are all the sizes my waist is 40" approx. so would I
need a XL in any harness. It is difficult when im not around anywhere where I can try them on. I would prefer a ozone xc harness, have heard nothing
but good from them however any kind will do.

There is some variance in the sizing brackets between different manufacturers, so it would be good if you knew what brand you were interested in
(besides Ozone).
If you are interested in the Ozone Access harness it is one size fits most. 40" inch waist shouldn't be a problem.
PBKiteboarding is in Canada but more than a day away by car from you. Paul carries Ozone gear.
If you need someone closer, it might just be best to contact Muller Windsports who is the Canadian Ozone Distributor and check with them as to who the
nearest dealer is.

I am also 40" waist (approx) and I just bought the Mystic Warrior II LEN10, it fits amazing. And at only $190, its a pretty good deal.
Their sizes are advertised as smaller than they fit, mine said it was for 36/38 waist and it fits me fine, with TONS of extra room.

How are the mystic harnesses for snowkiting?

Dunno, we just got dumped on with about 1.5-2 feet of snow. Soon as I get new bindings on the snowboard I'll let you know

been traction kiting sense mid 90/s $190 is a lot of bucks to me ,for a harness but i'm cheep

edk442 can you tell me the shops, im not sure of the forum rules. I know of one in saskatoon that sells ozone kites but no ozone harnesses I think
the only ones they sell are ocean rodeo and prolimit waist and seat, im only about 2 hrs froom saskatoon. Will the Prolimit waist harnesses work well
for snowkiting.

Brian, check Horizon Kites. I picked up my Peter Lynn seat harness from him. I know another local picked up an Ozone snowkite harness from Pipeline in
Edmonton but you'd be just as well off ordering it online from a shop that's fully setup for online orders I guess...unless you wanna support "local".
And no, no affiliations at all.

Sorry, and yes, the Prolimit will wrk just fine but it comes down to what you like. I can't really say I love waist harnesses since on me they tend to
turn into chest harnesses. Something about not being able to suck the bottom half of my triangular shape in far enough to cinch up the harness
Seat harnesses for me. Trouble is that us Canucks kinda need one size for winter to fit over our Helly Hansens and one for summer to shield others
from seeing our Speedos.
