PL divine trade

BEC - 17-9-2013 at 05:45 PM

I have an almost brand new PL Divine harness in size S and I'm looking to trade for an XS....I know some of you will find this hard to believe but I lost a little weight and its starting to ride up a bit...not really while sitting in the buggy but static flying...
I have Rich (shehatesmyhobbies) @ East Coast Kite Sports bringing me a different model to WW, so if I like that model then I might just sell mine outright while I'm there, but until I try that model..I want to stay with this one....It's super comfortable and a great buggy harness. thanks

34 hits and no responses....I guess I will have better luck eating another salad...haha....Still a bit of time before Wildwood....Don't worry about me....

12 lbs lighter = less weight....and as Claude says....less weight = faster buggy so...:thumbup:

It still fits me fine to pass you on the beach....Can't wait to see everyone!:D:D:D

Maybe..

Does this come complete..... or without spreader bar/hook?

What'ya asking for this?

What waist size did you drop to?

BEC - 18-9-2013 at 05:36 AM

I'm about a 29 waist now....even that is borderline.....It would be just for the harness, as I don't see why I can't use what I own already if I'm trading down a size for the same exact harness...If I was to purchase the one Rich has, then that might be a different story...Hard to tell not trying it out....
This thing is like brand new, so I'm just trying to get the same one without really laying out any money... a couple bucks is fine but I'm not going to lose 50 bucks to trade down a size...I will just start wearing my Dakine Fusion for static flying and change over the spreader bar/hook. The Divine works great if I'm in the sitting position.....stays in place....

THe dutch must be some rather large folks- I am in the same boat in that i have a large and need to drop down to a medium but waiting for now since i think clothes might make a difference, definetly too big when i kite naked

The implication was not clear, sorry. I have none to trade. I wanted to see what you want to sell it outright for.

Since it's unsure at this point...

... if you do purchase a new one from Rich(you can't find a trader w/ your size), and want to sell outright-then stop by at WWBB and see me and I'll try it and also see if a price is suitable to us both.

Yeah 29 is too small: recommended for S is 31-36 in.

Unlike Dakines, these have WIDE fit range in each size and overall(up to 55 in):o.
( I don't understand. :puzzled:there are really few overweight people in the Netherlands(tall yes)...and not many in Europe overall.
People who have not been overseas really have no idea the diff' between American and European weight(obesity). )

Good luck-Brian

The US obesity observation changes among parts of the country too. I see more overly large people in the Southeast than I'm accustomed to in the SW. I'm a 37" waist and my medium Divine fits perfectly. It would still be fine with an extra layer of clothes too.

The size thing totally depends on the product item. PL harnesses in the past were the opposite you needed a larger size harness than you needed for your waist size. Xl was the largest size and you were lucky if a 36" could fit it. These divines are the opposite. I wear a large and its too big. I do not wear a large anything most things are XXl so this shows the oversize of the divine. The good thing is since they have so many size options that they will cover just about everyone unless you get to small.
On the other hand I just ordered some of the new PL t-shirts in XXL and they do not fit me at all. I would say they compare to a US Large maybe. I put one on and it was like spandex on me :lol:

Hey Bruce, I'm a 33" waist, and that's without winter gear:-)
If you still have it available at Wildwood, I'll take it off your hands.
'Till then, enjoy the salad.

...28 days:smilegrin:...

Bob, you don't find that the spreader bar straps can be a bit short when layered up for the winter? Or do you simply grab a wider spreader? I ask because I have a small, and have considered trying to trade for a large, but I bet I can just get a wider spreader bar and that would make the straps not seem as short to me. The velcro strap has plenty of room for me, its just the spreader straps can be a bit short when I bundle up.

Demo- if you are looking for a little more size and fit in a small- dont jump to a large you would swim in it sounds like a medium would be perfect i have a 38 waist and can pull the belly strap waaaay past the end of the velcro

Without being purposeful about it, I ended up with a longer spreader bar. It might've helped to make the spreader straps plenty long but the huge benefit is that when my kite really powers up, the edge of my spreader bar tucks under the siderail on my buggy. This transfers some power directly to the buggy and has me more secure in the buggy. I have the spinning spreader bar but didn't like the spinning feature so I locked it in place.

Oops, I meant medium, not large. I forgot what size I had. My waist is about 34" most of the time. The small fits me fine, but I am worried about when the winter hits and I need to wear a big coat while riding my local beach.

Bobby I think different styles of Dakine must fit differently. I have 36-37 waist and I wear an XL Dakine. And it fits great I could no longer sit in my large.
