I've basically used Dakine Renegade harnesses for the last 7 years, so when my latest one started to wear and straps break, I tried on some new harnesses and went with the Ion Apex Select. I'm roughly a 31 waist and went with a small.
I've got 2 sessions on it, and I'm noticing that it pinches my ribs, it's not riding up as bad as my Renegade was, but.........the pinching on my ribs is getting old fast.
I never had this issue with the Renegade, although the Ion is really comfy on my back. Any solutions? If it continues, someone is about to get a cheap deal on a harness

You really need a size Medium, i have the same waist size and first i had the Small size also and it hurts my ribs after a while.
Go 1 size up then you're good and is very comfy
