Liquid Force Styler Boardshort harness
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:41 am
So, I don't do this often, but I have to say, the LF Styler boardshort harness is the best shorts / seat harness ever made.
Disclaimers: I've been repping Liquid Force for something like 5 years now. I designed the harness. So yeah, I'm biased.
That said, after breaking ribs on 3 separate occasions (usually on kiteloops), I gave up on riding a waist harness as it was too painful on bones that refused to heal. I started with the Dakine Nitrous shorts, which were nice, but honestly felt like a seat harness with shorts attached to them.
I then switched to LF and started riding their Gen1 and Gen2 boardshorts harnesses. They were great, but honestly not the most durable.
Given my experiences and my connection with LF, they let me design the new harness. It's a revolution. It feels like a combination between a climbing harness and a pair of boardshorts. I can walk around in them all day, they're super durable (as I found all the weakpoints in the last versions), they look good, and most of all COMFORTABLE.
This is not a harness for someone who needs a ton of support. This is the ultimate minimalist harness. lighter than any waist harness, and no big bulky piece of foam to keep you from tweaking out those strapless airs and passing the bar on handlepasses. It's much, much less restrictive than any other boardshort or waist harness on the market, so keep that in mind.

SO, if that sounds like something you want, you should pick one up! Best of all, if you have a problem with it or a suggestion for some new feature, email me and I'll integrate the fix into the next version!
