Which harness to buy

Dagon - 20-1-2007 at 12:30 PM

I have a dakine speed seat windsurfing harness now.
the time has come to upgrade I was thinking of the dakine storm (for buggy use mostly). Also I have a standard hook spreader bar but was considering a pully/roller.
Any advice would help.

I too have a Dakine speed seat and have been using it for years. I would recommend a roller over a hook. The hook tears up your link line while the roller does not.

I have a Dakine waist harness use in tandem with a Dakine spreader bar with a roller. Although the roller prevents damaging your line i get unhook all the time when doing jumping or tricks because it is not design to keep your line on the roller unless you have tension on the lines all the time. I just bought a Dakine pivoting spreader bar on hook and i loved it.

I have Dakine Storm. Use it both for buggy and landboarding. Love it! If I damage it or lose it, I would buy another. Bar pad is recommended with Storm as without it, bar tends to go up. With bar pad, you can go longer size bar as well. Also, from what I have seen (I have 3 Dakine harnesses), Storm size is a little larger than other Dakine harnesses. - Brian

Ok guys and girls.I have been buggy for a while now and I did put few harnesses to the test.As most of You know I don't use my gear like most people would,but I put it to hard abuse.Jumping in a buggy and on board I have used only seat harnesses and in two Years I broked six of them including spreader bar.So far the winner is Mystic as It haven't broke it for 6 months now and for me is most comfy in a buggy.Here is where I get my gear http://www.live2kite.com .And as always try it before You buy it.

So where do I find a roller or pivoting spreader bar?
I have also seen some home made setups with a pully cliped on to the spreader bar, any advice on these?

Zloty, are these mystics only waist harnesses? do they make a seat harness?, I couldnt find it on the website.

Zloty, which Mystic seat harnes do you like? Aviator? I find many too bulky for comfort in a buggy.

I use this one and it's work best for me as it doesn't ride up while jumping or having kite in zenit.Spreder bar hight can be set to Your preferences and it didn't break like rest I've used.
