    Why is it not good to have the harness sit on your hips? You give no exclamation for this, just making a statement.
    It seems that you dismiss this riding style, harness below navel, as my suggestion is, because it makes the harness more difficult to lock in place. But is it not your mission as a progressive manufacturer to solve problems and create innovative products?
    As a matter of fact there are for instance riders like Kauli Seadi, Bernd Rödiger or Marcillo Browne, who are sailing with waist harnesses in low position. What are they doing wrong, and when they are wrong: Why have they won many Titles, even including World Titles? You dismiss their style of harness use, you know it better than them?
    Please give an answer.

      I think you’re confusing specific, pro/very experienced guys with “general harness fit”

      i assume you're quite new in this sport....loose harnesses slide UP TO THE CHEST... if you want low harnesses with low center of gravity, buy a SEAT HARNESS

    wrong! A tight harness will NOT limit your ability to breathe. You don't breathe with your hips or lower belly. The lungs are in the chest, perfectly fitting within your rib cage.

      Yes of course, because your diaphragma sits right below your ribcage, it gets restricted with a tight harness below your ribs. Actually this is the reason why world champs like Kauli Seadi or Marcillo Browne or other professionals like Adam Lewis or Graham Ezzy ride their harness loose and down on hips, to not hinder breathing. Information can easily found threw YT, but stay ignorant. A suggest you never felt the urge to take full breathes during windsurfing or kitesurfing cause you peter out when waves get bigger than chest high or generally stay away from difficult conditions which need full engagement of your carvescular system, otherwise you would have noticed that harness worn high limits your perfomanse by restricting oxygen intake threw restricting breathing.
