az I would recommend the Ozone acess harness. very comfortable, will easily fit you. It's what I use and love. They have two models, the XC which
has no spreader bar, just a nylon loop(most people put a climbing carabiner on this, and attach that to their chicken loop, or the chicken loop can be
opened and threaded through it) or the SB which has a standard kiteboarding spreader bar. Since I don't do unhooked anything, I love the XC.
Otherwise I would recommend the peter lynn divine harness. both are seat-style harness, which is what I prefer.

What they said. If you're snowkiting or jumping, get a "proper" harness...

The Ozone is going to fit, has a huge size range. IMO I'd go for the spreader bar model. Super comfortable but lacking in support.
If you want more substantial support and a little added protection (at the cost of some comfort) I'd go for a XL Dakine Fusion seat harness. Tons of
support and it's saved my tailbone once or twice when getting dropped.:Ange09:

I hope it works out for you.
For the buggy and snowkiting, I use the Ozone Access with spreader bar, and really like it.
However, when I get on the water, I use a Mystic Warrior II which is awesome. If I was on the landboard, I am not sure which I would use. The main
reason I use the Ozone on snow is because its small, and lets the snow through most of its strapps without too much issue. I would wear the Mystic,
but its rather large, and I'm not sure I would want it scooping up snow on my back... Nor am I sure I would want to expose it to those cold temps...

The Ozone Access SB harness is generous in size. When they say large they really mean it!
It was too large for me in that size and it ended up being the most uncomfortable harness I've ever used.
If you value the family jewels then get the right one.

I agree with Tom. I am not a fan of this harness. I could never get it tight enough and it always felt like my pants are falling down. I kept it
though because I think it will do better over snow pants as its so roomy.

For buggying I really like the PL Divine harness. I forget I have it on. The pull comes from the right place and the pressure is well distributed.
I liked the airiness of the Ozone harness but it tended to squeeze in a bad place while standing up. This might be corrected in newer versions. I
use the hammerhead spreader to be able to attach Chicken loops or my quick release system for fixed bridle kites.

If you are flying fixed bridle, the Peter Lynn Base harness is awesome because it comes with a roller spreader bar. This harness is basically the
same as the Ozone SB harness but it comes in a couple sizes.
For depower, the Ozone SB harness is excellent - one size fits all. Unless you are a toothpick, then it can be a tad large.
The Divine that BBob mentioned is one of the hottest harnesses on the market right now. We have sold a ton of them and everyone loves them. They are
very comfortable and built excellent. They would work perfectly for landboarding because they do have some great butt protection but they are
flexible enough to use in the buggy as well.
