Kiteboarding: How to Fit a Seat Harness Properly

[@ermanakbay]

Thanks for a great video. When I put mine on the first elastic strap on your left does not overlap with the tip on the right no matter how much I pull. And also when I pull the other (your right) elastic strap to go over the left elastic strap, the velcro barely overlaps. Is this too small for me? I'm 32-33 waist and I got a Medium, but maybe I need a large?

Fitting comments don't seem to apply to Dakine Vega seat harness. It has no elastic velcro band and spreader bar ends don't overlap any padding ( at least for me ). Hour glass shape and padding of spreader bar appears to be enough, however, to avoid any comfort issues. I bought the Vega 2017 model in a Large ( 34-36 ) , which is the same sizes I buy my jeans and am completely happy so far.

I just purchased a Vega Harness. XL I'm 5'- 8" 180lbs when leg straps are fully tightened, they are still loose around my legs. The spreader bar has overlap on the Harness and still has more tightening available when fully tightened down. Not sure if this is too big? But I want it to fit over a wet suit too. Thoughts?????

It sounds like you need a Large if you cannot get the leg straps tight enough. Some people also choose to use a smaller spreader bar so they can use a larger harness that will also fit over wet suits. However, in most cases, you should be able to wear the same harness and spreader bar with or without a wet suit. Again, based on your height/weight, it sounds like a Large harness is the right size for you.

Would you be able to drive a car while wearing the Nitrous? Otherwise you will have to change shorts once you get to the park.

People do wear them to drive to and from but it may be a little uncomfortable for a longer drive.
