Harness Help


I am looking for any suggestions for a good harness for landboarding. I recently bought a HQ Montana and I have been using my water harness which is a Dakine Fusion (seat). I live here in Texas and this harness gets extremely hot after a while. I went to the closest Kite shop last weekend to try on a few waist harnesses and they were all out of stock so I had no luck. I was hoping someone else living in a hot climate would recommend what you use to beat the heat. Is there such thing as a well ventilated waist harness?

Ironically, a cool well ventilated harness is the Blazer Snowkite (waist harness by Mystic. The mesh lining is meant to prevent the caking of snow in the harness, but in hot climates is helps wick sweat and helps give place for sand to go besides being trapped against your skin. It comes in a waist-seat style.
It also comes witha padded spreader bar cover that is easy on your rib cage when the bar rides up.
I don't have a lot of personal experience with the Dakines, but the locals on the beach who have tried both seem to prefer the Mystics.

Great, thanks for the advice Angus and Slawek. That harness should work out good also when I head to Colorado next year for some snow kiting. That's cool that it will work out good in cold and hot weather. I'll drop you name Slavek when ordering, thanks for the tip.;)
