e.g. its windy and I trigger the QR in deep water. I pull in to reset it but its windy so there's still some pull in the kite. At the point I get to the bar, I have to decide if I try and pull the bar down to my waist where my chicken loop is to attach it, or do I have to hold the safety line, and the bar and then reach down and use two hands to unclip the chicken loop and hope I don't drop it?
Be good to hear some real world reviews though. I'm sure I'm imagining more problems that don't really exist
As I said, I might be making more of a meal out of it than it deserves and I'm happy to listen to those who actually try in deep water.Topaz wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 1:24 pmI don't see the problem.nothing2seehere wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 10:00 amI was all for buying into this concept until........he put the loop in the wrong way and it didn't clip in.

You release.
You get back to the bar and grab the QR, not the bar, with one hand.
You get the loop with the other hand without un clipping it from the harness and click it them back into the QR
After releasing, you don't need to pull from the bar itself, but from the release system body in the center line, which is the same that you do on a regular bar. (I have North/Duotone and an old Naish bar) So you sill have the regular depower.
If for whatever reason you want to get the loop off the harness, you have that option, but you have to get close to the QR mechanism anyways and that will put tension in the center lines. And on top of that, you will have one hand busy with the loop.
The good thing that I see is that the re-clipping procedure is easier. You pull from the QR and push on the loop et voila.
Maybe I'm missing something because I have older bars? Are new QR's from other big brands like this already, but better?
