They are scheduled to be out early May, but the volcano may frigg things up- next week will tell unless the big one blows.
You might have seen them at NABX. Low bulk diaper style to fit in a buggy seat without cramming.

I have the waist/seat version of this and really like it the only difference between the two sofar as I can tell is a bit of extra fabric on the
bottom to form a seat.

I've got the fusion but I don't think it fits in the buggy well, way too bulky and forces me to sit in an unnatural position. The shape is great for
atb or water which is where I use it. The storm it too high and thick for me. For the buggy u like the HQ harness. Simple, thin, out of the way,
gets the job done. (I'm
a 34")

You mustn't include a certain unmentionable bodily orifice in your "private" places  mine gets wedged so far up, I sometimes wonder if it has the appropriate permits for such deep-core mining ...!
Most of the time it's good though ...
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Hey Kami your not supposed to fold it into a thong  Mine never creaps up like
that. But I don't do the ATB or jumping. But the padding is so wide there I'm not sure how it could :dunno:

Right down the bottom (so to speak) of the harness, where the leg straps join the body - there a strap that seems to function to pull the cheeks
together ... that's the bugger that gets all intimate after I get yoinked. I had it sorted last season but can't remember if all the way out is better
than all the way in. The strap, that is, not the wedgie.
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Kami's Dakine Kite Thong. (Shudder)
I wonder how the Dakine Harness Shorts would work for you buggy guys out there. They're wicked low profile and damn comfortable.
