How comfortable are those knee hangers for such a long ride? I fly in relatively warm conditions and not having to deal with a bulky and heavy harness would be an interesting improvement :P

[@no_elzee]

Funny you ask... I've never used a cacoon or pod harness, but, I recently started looking into them, mostly because of pressure from a few club members. My knee hanger is actually very comfortable on me. I've modified it a couple times to suite me. I like how small it packs, and having my legs free is actually better on long flights, (I can eaily switch to a sitting position, mid flight, to relieve pressure on my neck). Besides storage, i can't think of any real disadvantage of a knee hanger. Drag maybe? But, then, weight is the trade off. In colder weather, i use my snowboarding clothes. So, that's not a factor either. After realizing how heavy and bulky the conventional harness' are, i might hold off for a while. Thanks for asking, David. Take care 👍

@@no_elzee in that case, my advice would be that you keep your knee hanger, and I will also look into having one of those 😁 thanks and take care!

the only thing i really hated about my knee hanger was putting it on
