I have the 2001 (previous version.)
It's ok, although i'm having one problem with it, that's the durability, the spreader bar cuts into the belt that holds the spreader bar connected to the harness.
I don't know if that's because of the size (its a little bit too big for me, never knew there were different sizes when i bought one, damn you salesman.)
In the beginning i also had a nut problem, but now i know how to put the things right and it's great (much better then waist ones in my opinion.)
I would have a look at the dakine fusion if i was going to buy a new harness, but it would definetely be a seat...

we use aviator seats since 3 years, and we love them. Heavy duty use, every days at the school, no problem of life time.
very comfortable, spreader maintained in position by webbing.
the nut problem: not so serious, easily solved by proper positionning of the harness

I can see I probably just don't have the right size, the nut problem was just in the beginning, but it wasn't so bad
(i still have them in the same size they were before) After 1 or 2 times you know how to put the harness right (it was my first harness, so no experience at all.)
My spreader bar is not always in the right place but i guess that's because of the size, maybe i should have taken a small or medium (i got a large one now
)
Their price is very good.

Had one and sold it quickly because the leg straps caused trouble. DaKine Fusion is OK for me now...
