Harness Trade?
I have a 2008 Dakine Fusion seat harness that I don't use now that I'm into buggying. I need a decent first buggy harness and I'm wondering if anybody
has one to trade? It's a longshot but I thought I would ask anyway. If nobody has a buggy harness to trade this will end up being given to somebody
here on the forum that is in need.
Thanks,
Chris

They will tell you: "Whatever suits you best" or "Whatever you feel comfortable with"
Any harness that doesn't rise up your chest and lets you fit in your buggy seat comfortably is a good buggy harness.

DP - Peter Lynn: Venom 8/10/13/16, Phantom 12
TUBES - North EVO 7/9/11/13, Dyno 15/18
BOARDS - North Jaime | North Nugget | MBS Comp 95x | Burton Juice Wagon 157
BUGGY - Libre Truck II, Libre Full Race

Its a large. I have tried buggying with this harness and its way uncomfortable. It doesn't allow me to sit all the way down in the seat because of the
high back support. It does have a standard spreader bar. Its great for static or atb riding.

I have an ozone base harness. You can see it here:

I also have a Fusion seat harness and I find that if you don't put the leg straps in and just use it like a waist harness it's a lot more comfortable
in a buggy. Might want to give that a shot before you go trading away a great harness.

I also have a fusion harness and while I don't buggy there are guys who I ride with who do buggy with seat harnesses.
I once played with my fusion and turned it upside down and put it on over my head using the leg straps as shoulder straps to allow the harness to sit
more like a waist harness then a seat harness. The spreader bar also needed to be flipped. I did this to see if I could use the harness on my kids
knowing it was too big for their seat but hoping I could keep it around their waist. I never kited this way (nor did my kids) but I seem to recall
thinking it would work but its been a long time so I can't speak to the specifics of how it looked / worked / felt.
Just another option for you to consider.

I think Midgaar's suggestion is going to work for me, at least until i can afford the PL Divine harness. Thanks for the help everybody!
