FS: Ozone SB harness w/spreader bar. $125 shipped. Only used a handful of times.

What size?

One size fits all.

roughly 30" waist to around a 42" waist if memory serves me correct. I've actually measured one.

To the top...

Drooling over this and wishing I had the money right now.... I've been wanting to try a seat harness for snow... and these seem to be the best potential option. Someone snap it up quick!

TTT

Do you have a different harness your using currently? Or are you looking to get a different one. I'd trade you for a divine.

Lol... I haven't been a medium since the 9th grade... :D

I know, same here, but the divines size big. The medium fits all the way up to a 38 waist size. That's about what I am and it still fits me fine.

I had an ozone sb harness and sold it. I like both types of harnesses for different reasons, but I think the ozone is a better multi tasker than the divine. I give the edge to the divine for buggy but I have been using hotwire more than harness on buggy so not as big of issue.

Really, having both is the best

This is indeed a good Snowkiting harness. It is the one I use on recommendation of the great one, Chris Kruge (aka fewd) from Hardwater fame. As noted, it is a one size fits all.

There are several things I really like about it and a couple of minor pet peeves. First the likes:

High quality. Easy to work pull rings with gloves or mittens on. Can still put on even if you forgot and put your ski boots on first. It slides around a little on your waist (which is a good thing) aligning the spreader hook off to the side a bit when going on one tack or the other (my favorite like).

Peeves: even with maximal tightening the leg loops can slide down my (massive, sculptured) thighs a touch if I don't remember to slide the leg loops all the way up just before launching. If the loops are low under load they aren't as comfortable as when full slide up. I've found that they tend to slide down my legs with walking from my car to the fly zone, probably slipping on the nylon of my ski pants (no Sean, I'm not wearing jeans). Second peeve was the spreader hook was too narrow from side to side. I ended up spreading it out a few millimeters with the back hook of a hammer. Seen from the top the hook comes in a bit like an hour glass. The reason this was an issue for me is I had installed a "chicken finger" for securing my NS3 harness trapeze loop to the spreader hook (my Peaks and Ozone kites have donkey sticks built into their loops). The chicken finger wouldn't slide through the hook until I spread it out some more. If you don't want or need a chicken stick this is a none issue.

All in all a great harness! :karate:

Steve, that's one reason I liked these. You don't need a donkey d!ck on your nasa stars with this harness because it moves to the side of pull. I never unintentionally came unhooked with this harness.

I agree about the leg loops slipping. If I get another one, I would make some modifications to eliminate a few of those types of annoyances.

Then you are most certainly doing something right (and I, in contrast, am surely not). I think I pull the bar towards me unintentially when I fly my Stars because I've dropped the loop several times in the buggy. I actually recently upgraded the trapeze loop on both my Star bars (my adjustable width NS3 bar and modified LongStar bar). I'm in the that holds that Steffen makes first rate kites but second rate bars. I particularly don't like his chicken loops and their release mechanism. In cold weather my chicken loops would spontaneously release which was a real pain in the seat meat. I ended up installing aftermarket Ozone trapezes with really nice Velcro and ball release systems that imho are far higher quality and infinitely more reliable.

This is a long way at getting to the point that I'm not sure if I'd have the same trouble with these new trapezes coming off the hook as I was having with Steffen's OEM loops but now I've got chicken fingers installed in both of my spreader hooks so now I just use them. In the winter the chicken fingers get quite stiff with the cold and are hard to bend into place and out of place once passed through the bottom of the spreader hook. When flying my Stars in the winter what I've come to do is put the chicken finger in place first, disengage the Ozone trapeze release mechanism, three the chicken loop onto the spreader hook behind the chicken finger and then reattach the trapeze loop. Easy. I don't this will be a problem in warm weather as the chicken fingers are quite flexible at room temperature.

I confess, I have came unhooked by user error before but not under load while moving at a good clip. it usually happens in light wind sessions and pull on bar during a lull or underpowered turn. The divine on the other hand, wants to unhook while kite is powered (without donkey stick). So to be more accurate, I don't come unhooked in powered situations with the ozone due to it sliding around to power.

I may just stick to my diy waist harness for stand up stuff. It's really comfortable and no worries coming unhooked due to solid "hook" with no opening. This takes the donkey stick out of play completely. I do have to release and refasten safety on chicken loop but not a big deal.

Actually most of my riding doesn't involve a hook or donkey stick or any worries of coming unhooked. in buggy I'm hot wired normally and ski/skate I use the solid "hook" waist harness.

If the leg loops are giving you trouble, you might go to a waist harness although with your new obsession with jumping, the leg loops might come in handy.

Way off topic, sorry cheezy.

bottom line, this is a great harness and one I want to re-add to my collection. Someone buy it soon!!

Bump. Still for sale.

I'll buy it but you have to bring me it tomorrow
