Best buggy harness


I read a thread where a guy was selling a seated harness because it didn't work well with his buggy. Is that true for all seated harnesses?

I would prefer a seated harness because I think they might be kinder on my back.

I think I might be interested in an ATB so is there a harness that works well with both.

Thanks in advance for the advice

dakine fusion or speedseat

i use the fusion for both buggying and landboarding

i still like the Ocean Rodeo Harness since you can change it from seat to waist or vice versa. not to mention it comes with the spreader and pad.

I really haven't done much of either, however this holds true for whatever you do.
Try a few harnesses out. Find one you are comfortable with.

I am using the HQ harness, and it works for me land boarding, and with the very limited buggy time I have had.

Besides when you pull a superman they all look and feel the same :lol:

I have had a real hard time with the Fusion in the buggy. It has such great back support that it makes it very difficult to actually sit down in the bug.

I am a larger rider tho, smaller riders may not have the same problems.

thanks for the info. I don't live near any shops and so I can't really try any. I have been looking up the ones suggested to find one that seems good. I don't want to get one, then sit in a buggy and find out it won't work.

I use a Fusion harness without any problems in the buggy. It is a bit bulkier than others but the flip side is that it is more padded and comfy.

I have been using the fusion for a while now I am into my second one. I found this with all of the dakine harnesses I have had over the years that if I cut out the back support on the inside that the harnesses are way less bulky and still give the support you need in the buggy or on the board. It is very simple to do simply take a new razer blade and cut the stiching if done properly you can't even tell it was there before. This works great especially if you are in a libre buggy or something similar that already has all of the back support you need built into the seat. As someone already stated everyone likes different stuff so best bet is to try a couple on and remember if you don't like the back support in the harness then just cut it out:smilegrin:.
