60mins of my life gone ... not happy

ripsessionkites - 20-5-2010 at 03:03 PM

ive just wasted 6omins of my life building the display only to find that my cousins cant count to 60 or the UPS guy likes to put holes into boxes like ALWAYS.

also to answer last weeks question about OVERSIZED HARNESS.

The base harness will fit me (asian size 28") if you add the spreader pad, and will go to a max of 36" by adjusting the leg straps to the second loop.

The Divine harness in large is HUGE, most will want the medium and the skim folk will want the small plus a spreader pad.
the Large goes up to 39" to 49"

That's the Canadian metric system he's using there. Where this ' refers to inches unlike the other one you may be more familiar with -> "

:lol:

Now if you're a Viking or like DeDutch then yes, you might need a 39 footer.

I just assumed these were the other PL harnesses (but with the same names :rolleyes: ) meant to strap buggies to land vehicles..... and possiblly small boats and aircraft.

Are the new PL buggies going to have attachment points for parachutes for those impromptu airlifts?

ripsessionkites - 20-5-2010 at 03:26 PM

DAKITEZ - 20-5-2010 at 03:27 PM

what are you boxing I-O-U's? :lol:

That's daft - what's the point of a nice light weight strap harness that fits hardly anyone? I don't want a bulky great overly padded harness :(

arkay - 20-5-2010 at 03:42 PM

Wow, that's a small large. I would have thought the large would be in the 34-36 range as a sweet spot. I perfer not to have my gear on the smallest or largest setting. Either too much strap dangling or not enough in the buckle to feel secure.


And indeed you do have a nice rack. The PL display is pretty sweet looking as well. Maybe I need one of these in my garage in stead of wall hooks... hummmm...

Kami:

Apparently New Zelanders are waifish.

I think it's time to use your (self-sponsered) PL Team Rider status to effect a change.

its not that bulky for the Divine, with all its main material as neoprene. daskirtz knows more about Base harness since he likes straps around his ****, or when his wife go in from behind. doh, i promised to never mention he was the lady of the house. anyways he did try one on for size just the other day.
some new skirt pictures please, dino?

@arkay, why thank you, u like my 34-AA

@dakitez, u2u sent x 2 ... ROFL

back to work. how come so many replies at 4:00pm during the day? doesnt anyone work to 5:00pm anymore?

Kamikuza - 20-5-2010 at 05:26 PM

How thicS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s the neoprene? Need more pics - give us a twirl!
I already got a seat harness - I don't want to wear that over pants on the landboard and look like I'm wearing diapers. Also, don't want the wedgie it generates either ...!

... looks like I'm still waiting for the Ozone :lol:

iWolf - IIRC there was something in the paper about NZers replacing Americans as the fattest people on the planet. Serious ... I know I am - small cars and poorly secured garden sheds tend to get sucked in by my gravitational vortex and go into orbit about me :(

ill get you some more pictures. honestly you'll not notice it and this is why i waited this long for this harness. I've had everything from the old quadrifoil strap harness to a dakine fusion and this feels the most comfortable. no im not saying this because im a sponsored PL flier.

the neoprene material is light and molds to your butt, and is slightly curved. there is a lot of freedom of movement when you're walking and doesnt feel like a diaper at all, but it does look a little bit like one still. I like the leg straps over the dakine or the base harness because they dont dig into your family jewels when you get left. the leg straps are lower to your thighs so walking is easier and the pull isnt center to your privates either and more to your back and behind your thighs. similar style to a rock climbing harness and the ozone harness. the clips allow easy entry and exit.

TDMC96 just picked up his today and will give his review after we ride on sunday. He owns a D. Fusion, OK. Access, and PL. Divine.

Kamikuza - 21-5-2010 at 02:21 AM

Hmm ... what sizes are there?

indigo_wolf - 21-5-2010 at 08:46 AM

Have to ask.... I can see the Divine harness being fine in the water (liquid cooled ;) ), but on land wouldn't all the neoprene (slightly less breathability than a brick) slowly roast your hind quarters?

I know Summer is BBQ season, but.... :o

The Ozone Access is padded around the waist and leg straps, but pretty breezy in all other resects.

Sam

its not full neoprene just the section were you need to bend. it would also help to drive though some tide pools too. hehehehe.

working on getting pics, but the slim bikini chad model hasn't arrived yet.

Sometimes it really is worth it to spring for expedited shipping when ordering the slim bikini clad model. :rolleyes:

Hopefilly assembly will go smoother than with the PL display. :o
