harness for Flexifoil seat


I have a Dakine Fusion...well built, have had it for years and is pretty comfortable...however....It does not bend well and makes me sit higher in my stock seat then I would like. Any Suggestions?

I'm starting to like my flexi bug more and more...This is due to my size and weight and being able to try others at WBB. If I sit in my buggy without a harness I have a ton of back support and I feel like I'm sitting low (enough siderails to keep me in). If I had a harness that bent at waist section a bit better I think I might give one a try.
I recently purchased one of Claude's custom pulleys attached to an old reactor bar which ROCKS! so I want to keep that system in place for now.

Just want a couple model suggestions that might work for me with my current set-up especially if you have sat in a flexifoil. None of you guys with the Bentley/RollsRoyce buggies...haha thanks

Look at the ones that don't have a full seat. All that fabric raises you up. Bare bones harness that fits well and doesn't squeeze the kiwis is your answer. I love my Divine harness by PL, but it is full fabric out back.

On another note, have you thought about changing over to a PL seat? I did on my Flexi and it let me sit deeper inside the rails.

These are options I am considering....Flyguy0101 too... love our flexifoils for the amount of buggy time we get but still want a different feel without having to shell out tons of $$. If I have to purchase new seats, sidebars etc then I might as well give the flexi to one of the kids and get one of Van's rides....

Will look into the PL seat ...A rock climbing harness I don't think is an option as I can't run the reactor bar with pulley.

The Divine is nice, does flex a bit more than the Dakine. You can use the Divine with any of the different bars because you just use the straps to secure the bar, doesn't have the hooks on it like the Dakine.
