Hi,
I am selling my harness setup. I put this together for freestyle buggying and it has worked perfectly for me. I only kite on water now so this is no longer required.
It is setup from the following components:
A Wild Country Elite harness, Size Small, now discontinued. This has information on the exact harness: http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=1538
I chose it because it is lightweight and has a good amount of padding. To make it more suitable for kiting I made several modifications. I removed the gear loops; In a Flexi buggy these chafed against the seat. I also removed the clips at the the back which held the elastic for the same reason. To make the attachment point at the front neater I also removed the belay loop. This has led to a extremely minimalist and comfortable harness.
The quick release is connected to the harness with an 8mm diameter stainless steel shackle.
The quick release itself is the wichard model used by most kiters. I have added a handle with a bobble on it to release. I have never had a issue with this snagging and releasing accidentally: http://www.wichard.com/rubrique-Swivel_eye-0202040301000000-ME.html
The block is the Holt 40mm snatch block, I have kept the bearings clean and sand free: http://www.jimmygreen.co.uk/item/1182/holt-snatch-blocks
I would say that this cost me about £120 to put together originally.
It is worn, but still in perfectly functional condition, and you have the advantage of knowing that it is a tried and tested system.
Make me an offer. I will either post it, or you are welcome to pick it up from Southampton.
Let me know if you'd like any more pictures.
Thanks, Tim
