Let's hear what you ride with: What kind of harness do you have? Likes dis-likes. Comfort, Ability to hook un-hook, Waist, seat, buggying or static. Stuff like that.

Thanks.

Dakine speed seat with roller bar. This is my second one. I like it a lot and am sticking with what works for me.

Mystic Force Sheild (seat) has been good to me.

Mystic Firestarter 08, best harness i've ever worn!!
I was annoyed with Dakine's giving me rashes around my stomach and hurting my back after a while (especially on water, not so much problem with it on land (rashes on both though)) the mystic is pretty amazing and it has knife and all kinds of safety releases I love it! Bit more pricey though of course...

Dakine Tabu, so far so good! No rashes as of yet but I ride in freash water so that might be why. i love the pivot spreader Corey llama talked me into.

I also use Da Kine Tabu. Been using it for several years now. It's waist harness, but works perfect for me on a buggy. I like that the spreader bar moves to either left or right side. Not fixed in the center. On a buggy, I don't need to twist my waist where the kite is pulling.

until yesterday the Mystic Aviator--excellent fit and comfort. bar secures easily, plenty of sinching adjustments to keep the jewels from getting damaged, robust build and padded well.....I opted for a DaKine 08 Pyro and have ridden it twice (land/aqua) so early dayz but so far so good. I really liked the Mystic but wanted to try a waist harness..............

I use a Dakine Storm with a roller spreader bar. It's my first harness and it's very comfortable. I ride a landboard with this setup. The legs/thigh straps don't ride up so this harness has been very comfy to use. When I started using this harness, I used to put my cell phone in one jeans pocket and put keys in another pocket which also hooked the legs straps down. However, without these artificial hooks, the thigh straps are behaving very well.

Dakine Nexus. Similar to the Tabu but a winsurfing harness so no handle in back. Comfy until it rides up !
Standard hook spreader. I like to pop in and out + use a chicken loop.
If I had the spare change I would get a Slingshot Surefire Spreader and a Mystic aviater

dakine fusion seat harness with hammerhead hook spreader bar. Love it for skiing. Like it for landboarding (still not used to the low tow point for landboarding) but it is comfy and I can't get along with waist harnesses as they always ride up on me and crush my ribs.

Dakine Icon windsurfing waist harness. Rides up, and the spreader bar hits my sternum, and it kills. I think I might trade in for a seat harness soon.

Dakine XT Seat harness, 12" hammerhead spreader bar w/pad (38" waste). Switching to Ozone AccessXC harness due to the bulkiness of the XT harness. Ordered AccessXC two weeks ago and STILL on back order. :-( I guess "In Stock and Ready to Ship" really means we have to order it from distribution and you'll eventyully get it.

Thanks everyone that give me some ideas on what is out there. cool.

DaKine XT seat with long roller spreader bar. I've used these harnesses since about 2001 or so. I've tried a bunch of different harnesses but I have sold all of them. The XT seat is comfortable and has a low hook height. The harness does not ride up to bad except during poorly executed jumps. When it does ride up it's easy to push it down again.

old prolimit seat fully adjustable seems ok i use it both for land and water. I got it for land riding and for the padding but used once on a water run i haven't used the cabrinah impact vest since.

it looks like da kine wins the match.
i have a da kine tabu waist. the only thing i would change on mine is the roller bar to a hook spreader bar. the bar pad is a big plus too.

Welcome to the forum! And yea lot's of Dakine. Seem to be the most used for boarding and the buggy.

I got to try one at Nabx that had a roller It worked pretty well. why do you belive the hook is better? I hear the hooks wear the strop pretty good but i guess they all will when used alot. I really liked the chest harness but can't seem to find anyone who sells them anymore. Alot of people say they are not safe.

i think a chest harness would be a good idea but i see how with the center of gravity it would be unsafe.
you cant lock a roller in like you can with the hook. so it falls or slips off allot.
