Best seat harness for foiling?

[addictedtofoil]

I have an Ozone back country which is good, but when riding loaded up and boosting on the foil, after a while the straps dig into the legs which become uncomfortable and requires constant adjustment.

Can anyone recommend a better seat harness and/or bar/slider to use for foiling and boosting jumps on the foil?

Thanks in advance.

Petzl sequoia, the normal one not the srt version. Instead of a spreader bar it has a bridge that distrubutes load evenly between cushioned leg pads and the waist part, no matter what angle. It is really nice to ride switch. The extra loops are easy to take off.

interesting...
i never thought about tree (or tree hunting) harnesses.

how is it handling water use?
..are you using in a salt water environment?

loolks liike that one and the weaver denali seem to be favs(are both are of a premium budget)

Have only had the sequoia in freshwater and snow, so don’t know about saltwater yet. Freshwater does not seem to do it harm. The weaver denali looks like it is made with leather, which could be a problem for water use. Petzl makes make very nice connector rings and strap parts which are not necessary for kite use, so there might be cheaper options out there that do the same.

I am in process of exchanging the metal rope connector rings with dyneema and slider rings to make it simpler/lighter. Will post something if it works better.

I have been foiling for 4 years with the Prolimit Kiteseat Pro I'm very happy it's ligth and comfortable. I use the Mystic Stealth bar rope version with it and it fits perfectly it has the pockets for the winglets of the bar.

I have the Dakine seat harness, which works well.

Slightly off-topic: does anyone else find 360s are much harder to do with a seat harness?

I m currently riding a dakine fusion with a Mystic stealth bar, I mainly use it for racing, but i m not really happy with it, a bit too bulky, limits a bit the mobility of my legs, and tends to move up and tighten my groin... Also looking for an alternative.
BTW the Stealth bar is amazing

I paid 280 Euros new. You dont need to modify it, it just has loops on the back the hook in a chainsaw etc.

Dakine Vega. Thin, comfy, light, packs well. I used variety of harnesses over the years, including shorts harness. I'm on 2nd or 3rd Vega now, using LF spreader bar with rope on it.
