Harness: Storm, Fusion or XT


I have a Dakine Tabu waist harness and I have decided to switch to a seat harness because I hate when the waist harness rides up on me. I have a 32" waist and a slim build. I mostly kite landboard or just fly. I don't go in the water. I plan to kite snowboard and maybe one day buggy if I can ever afford to buy a buggy.

I am stuck betwene these three harnesses. I don't know what really makes them different from eachother. Does anyone have any opinions on which one is best for what I am doing? Price is a small factor too.

I have used both Storm and Fusion and settled with Storm for landboarding and buggying. Fusion was too bulky.

I have an EVO seat harness on the way (I think it's the cushier version of the radsail harness.) I will post about it as soon as it gets here. The info I read says it would good for atb and snow kiting, and ok for buggy. It looks to me kind of like the poor man's mystic.

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

Hey Evan, just another angle for you here. I feel kinda diapered in my Fusion although I bought it second hand so it's possibly formed to someone else. I recently bought a Peter Lynn seat harness and while the "getting in and out of it" business is not as easy as the Dakine, it feels way less like a diaper and "locks" more directly to my hips both above and below. The leg loops clip the same on both but the Dakine has a wide elastic velcro then the spreader bar clips, the PL has two straps (one big velcrop above the hips, one normal "insert into the adjuster" below the hips and then no quick clip on the spreader bar (although I'm hoping someone out there makes one). Construction of the PL seat harness looks ALMOST identical to the HQ seat harness and both get a nod from me. The wide velcro belt on the Dakine is a big bonus though.
