Harness type ends up a very personal choice. Most folks that buggy like a seat harness. Most folks that kitesurf like a waist harness or impact vest /
harness combo.
I like a waist harness. I like the pull from a bit above my center of gravity. A seat harness pulls from a lower spot when I wear one.
the MOST IMPORTANT thing is for it to be comfortable. You will wear it for long, hot spells.
Try to get to a shop or a place that you can compare the feel of the 3 types. Most shops have a swing bar for testing. Maybe try Jake at
www.windflowsports.com . Or Powerzone. They should have some to try.
