For foiling, where the kite is often higher, I find seat harness so much better. For anything else a big fat waist harness (with a big back area, ie opposite of a belt) is better in my opinion. I have had way too many harnesses where the back coverage is too small and when way overpowered it digs in uncomfortably
I tried them. It shows on their site. I ordered. They called me and said no longer in stock. With no plans to carry them. That was less than 1 month ago. Has it changed?
I don’t have a lot of experience, but of the harnesses I have used, this one is the best. Thanks for bringing attention to it. I wish more people would.
Why do you make the harness sides so broad and the back so small? In my opinion sides don´t need to be wider than webbings and also rolled like your hook. That gives great mobillity and also no load points at edges, like you crearly realized with your rolled hook, why not use this knowledge? Secondly a much higher back interferce only little with mobillity as moves we performe don´t have a backward arched spine, rather the opposite. The effect is a really good protection and stabilization of lower spine: Like the backpart is bridging the lumbar spine in total, siting with its edges down on hipbone and high on ribcage, making it impossible to transfer twisting or shearing loads to lumbar spine. Your outline is like a lot of "standard" soft harnesses have, not progressing much what new design this hard shell thecnique allows. I myself have a Severne PK1, which is much more progressed in that direction and it´s by far the best harness i´ve ever owned in 30years plus riding. Also for a lot of riders the harness placement in this video is allready up, what do you do to have a harness that sits lower and stays lower?
Hi man. First have to say I’ve Enjoy all your reviews over the years! I know you been ride with Re and Mystic harness before. And just would be glad to hear your thoughts on Re Lyte vs Mystic Stealth in comfort and support? (Know you ride AK now but) Tnx and keep pushing it and congrats to the Airush job! 🤙
Thanks Henrik! I have used most of their gear in the past. I’ve not used it even seen the Lyte actually. I have done some comparisons in the past between the two brands in general with the stealth. Your best best is to see if a local shop has some you can try on and compare. When you do, Lemme know what ya think! - Rygo
Please advise which is considered to be the best seat harness? I have lower back strain and I find a seat harness that most comfortable. I look forward to hearing from you. Tx Wayne
Comfortable can be pretty subjective. I think it’s best to visit a local shop and try a few on. Usually there is a bar on the wall you can hook into. Some have a low back and tons of support. Others sit lower and are more streamlined. There are even kite shorts that are pretty popular. I had an Ak Fusion demo last season. That was quite supportive. Hope you find something that works. 🙌🏻 Where are you located?
Back pain is tricky to make recommendations. You might have to try a few different harnesses to see if something helps. Maybe see a doctor or pt about the root cause. I know some people find a seat harness helps as they can sit and get the pressure off their core. Some people like hardshells as they have more support. Hope that gives you a starting point!

@@ryanrygogoloversic8826 Thank you. That looks like the V2 harness, correct? If you share your Venmo or something, I'll be glad to send you a commission.
@@ryanmitchell2160 Yep! Looks like they have the v2. Still a sick harness, with the black color way. Dude, no worries! That’s awesome you would offer. Just let them know Rygo’s video sent you and share the AK stoke! ⚡️

Awesome! Hard shells have been a game changer for me! I feel like they provide much more support and limit harness movement during all my sessions!
Defo my favorite since they came out. You gotta check out the Aerobar. It’s magic. ⚡️ Hopefully we get a session soon bro. 🤘🏼
yes, the hook part makes wounds on belly if you ride powered and jump high, the one from video seems to be very interesting!
It’s an elegant solution to say the least!
@@ryanrygogoloversic8826 just googled it, quite hard to find in Europe :(
The AK harness and spreader bar are fantastic. Worth the effort to find.
Kiteboarding.com has them

@@chrisdempsey440 ahh bummer the must have moved inventory. Check Hatteras island surf and sail.

Get a MYSTIC STRAPPIES - brilliant solution and simple to use.
Great rundown, thanks for sharing Ryan!
Cheers crew! Well done with the harness and spreader bar. Innovation at its best. 👌

@@ryanrygogoloversic8826 thank you
Rygo, did you also try the Manera Halo harness? it's a mix of hard and soft. I have one, works good for me.
I checked them out over the summer. Super cool idea.
Is this spreader bar you're showing is made of carbon? Does not look like but can't tell for sure with camera. One on AK site is a carbon.
This is carbon! ⚡️
Hi, Im using wide soft harness and have lower back pain, what can you recommend for this issue?

Can you provide a link to buy that harness and spreader bar please?
