Best Looking Harness?

[Jmo]

I'm really curious to find out what harnesses everyone thinks are the best looking or most stylish.

Some riders like a really understated black harness and then some like a loud and proud design...

Anyone care to put their thoughts down here?

It is hard to have a very stylish seat harness, I think. Then again, being able to hit it hard for an 8 hour session and come back for more the next day without back issues is important. Couldn't do that with any of the waist harnesses I have tried in the past, not even close. Some folks aren't bothered by waist harnesses while others like myself are. Heard good things about the new Mystic Warrior waist harness, but have yet to try it. Neil tells me it replaced his old seat harnesses pretty well.

This probably isn't what you were looking for and I think people should give their opinions about stylish harnesses.

In the meantime, I googled "sexy harness" and these are some of the things I came up with ...

Harness input out there?

Yep, I nearly bought the second one for looks, but heard some nasty rumours of it giving wedgies.... :lol:

I would worry about getting snagged by one of those hundreds of rivets holding the lot together. Then again, not my style of harness at all. I bet some folks might wear it for kiting, may have already?! Just took another look, I think you have to get a wedgie just to put it on, ouch.

On a related topic, appearance aside, how many folks have had harnesses rip apart during peak loading while in mid-jump? I think I've had three of these over the years. Two were old windsurfing harnesses without all the reinforcement common in kiting rigs these days.
