i wouldnt say no based on price

however harnesses are a personal thing, what fits and feels good one person is different from the next.

i highly recommend that you try different harnesses on locally and see what you like.

If money is tight and you don't have a shop or way to try different ones then this will do the job and get you going.

Looks a bit entry level ? I like more support . Some styles have even less. It's a personal choice for sure. Land kiters tend to prefer a seat harness.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

I have used Scrub harness for many years without any problems, if it's quality you are worried about, worry no further. I presume you will be using this for landboarding? or maybe de power kites? For a buggy I would go down the seat harness way

It would be used for landboarding, with my Blade, i'll keep looking and see what I can find. Yeah it does look quite entry level, which is what i am, but, id like one that i dont have to upgrade in a few months. Any suggestions, let me know! Thanks.
