Hi,

due to my back problem I need to use seat harness, but I haven't been able to test too many. What bothers me really is that the leg straps or actually the attachment points of the legstraps are too low so when I raise my knee, the legstraps (their attachment points) are restricting the leg movement.

Any suggestions for a harness that don't do this please?

Good winds! :jump:

how much movement do you need?

I do everything with a seat harness! Also having a problem with my back...

But, it is a seat harness that has a higher positioned hook.

I use the Pat Love Two Go and an ION prototype, but similar to the two go.

Ocean Rodeo makes a waist harness with leg straps that a lot of people with back problems here seem to like and the Da Kine shorts with the straps built in work well also, lots of leg movement in those

Toby,

It seems that the Pat Love Two Love is more like an hybrid harness, like Transformer, doesn't it?

Hi guys,

Can you tell us how is the hook position of the Force Shield compared to a tradicional waist harness and a seat harness, like Fusion?

Thanks

It is closer to the Fusion than a waist. What I like is that the hook won't tend to move up during jump because there is a strap that are between it and the leg strap. The clicker system is nice too. Whatever the harness, you should try it first at least in store if you can't try it on the water. I had a few before finding one that I found comfortable for me.

I use an OR Session 2 and find it has nice high bar position, but the straps keep it from riding up. The bar will actually twist up (for me) if I don't use the leg straps. No comfort or mobility issues at all when using the straps. Haven't tried a lot of others though...

I've been on the Dakine Nitrous Shorts harness for years.
Pretty comfortable, allows pretty good movement.
No nut crunching.
Put a Dynabar Freestyle swivel hook with it and toeside riding is pretty good.
The hook is lower than a waist harness so the center of pull is not exactly the same as a waist, but pretty good.
I would like to give the Ion B2 Shorts a try in comparison.
