Kite Harness


Wondering if anyone has recommendations on kite harnesses/might consider selling. I'm a size 31 waist and might need a 32-34 to have room for clothing. I'm currently considering the Dakine Chameleon, Ozone Backcountry, and a $20 climbing harness that might actually work https://www.amazon.com/Weanas-Climbing-Mountaineering-Rescui...
I'm likely to purchase my first depower soon (Hq4 Apex) and I need to reach a decision so that I don't have to wait too long to use it :smilegrin: . I'm looking at the lower end of the price range but I don't want to risk going too cheap.

what are you looking to do ultimately?
to me standing up a back harness works best, sitting down a seat for most of us...
you could buy that amazon harness but if your going to do this for a while id say
get something your more likely not to replace, it won't cost that much more
though i may buy that for some tree work here...

The plan is to begin snowkiting this winter, so mainly that. But if light winds happen to work with the apex for kiteblading than that might be a possibility as well. Still starting out so I know it may be best to go with a seat as opposed to a waist harness

i have Dakine Chameleon and love the option of using seat or waist depending on what I'm doing.
with kite skating my favorite is two line with no harness.
