Hi Everyone,
I am quite curious about the Ether harness from AK, anyone tried or seen it?
Not much info online beside the official website and a video review on Kiteboarding.com

Hi Dave, I’ve seen both links already, the project looks quite interesting and I’ll get one!
I was looking for some other kiters reviews though.

I´ll definitely get one!
The size chart looks strange, however. I´d need XL according to it (and I´m a very "normal" guy, 75 kg / 180 cm). I´m wearing a Rideengine in size M comfortably. XL sounds weird to me. A very large group of potential buyers would be excluded from this offer, as XL is their biggest size.
Anyone experieced here?

I asked the same question. And got the following response from somebody who is using one:
“I’m 33-34 and the ether is a little smaller than the normal mediums, the M is the one I use but it’s snug, though I am right on the limit.”
I assume “33-34” is waist size in inches.

I would call kiteboarding.com and talk to them, and also call the manufacturer, and some of their other dealers.

Kiteboarding.com has them in stock and can ship them the same day.

Send them a message on their website: Info>Contact Us. I've sent them product feedback and someone has always responded to me within a couple of business days. Would help them to know that there's interest in that product as well.
