Ozone Access SB Harness

@gum-nuts, good review.  I sold mine and kept my pl divine.  Not sure that was the right move as there are things I like about each and don't like.  This harness was perfect except I could never keep the straps from loosening.  I have measured this harness when full tightened and loosened.  It fits a waist size 32" to 42".  When properly adjusted it's great, but I found mine would still loosen almost as soon as I would use it.  I never tried, but I think if I tied the red waist loops together with paracord, that it would not have loosened.  I actually favor the ozone over the divine for that one feature because the divine stays put.  However, if I had to do it all over again, I would have modified the ozone harness to my liking because I preferred it in all other ways to the divine.  Just some drunken rambling to read

A great review!!

I was told the Access harness was made to go over snow gear, so that's why it is such a large fitting.

Mine has never come loose. But it was a bit of a pain to walk round with it on so as the leg straps worked their way down my legs so I sorted it out. I modified it. (a lot over the years)

Leg straps were shortened. Stitched firmly to suit my size. Red adjustment rings stitched out of the way.

Webbing added from waist to each leg strap at the back. This took a lot of pressure off my hips with big kites. Elastic was retained to keep them up high on the legs while walking. The elastic just stretches when seated in the buggy but the webbing is adjusted up to the waist so it shares a small bit of the load over my bum. This hold the leg straps up higher on my thighs so a big kite doesn't try and lift my legs towards my knees. D ring shortened. I still have broken tendons in both shoulders, so need the handles in very close to be able to control them. D ring is folded over the back at the top and I had to add more to the bottom of the D ring as over time the D curve was pulling through the webbing of the attachment. The shinny bit is the back of the "wichard".

 Plastic was inserted into webbing and  added to centre at the front to keep my shirt out of my now very close strop pulley.

I haven't used any other harness for comparison.

I still have a new unmodified D ring model I bought when my son showed some interest a while back. He hang glides now.

It's done a LOT of kms and I've found it very comfortable for long hours in the buggy. I do run a cigarette lighter over the fluffy bits of padding as they wear on the edges, just to keep it neat and tidy and stop it fraying further.

It's a quality bit of kit and a pleasure to wear.

mine has never come loose and your right Chook about the sizing to fit over ski wear. 

I have removed the original spreader and swapped it out for a roller, then refitted the original back on again!

I have an Ozone Gen I Base Harness and I still find it to be a bit of a nut cracker.  

Perhaps the snowpants and such is meant to mitigate that.  Supposedly the issue was addressed in the next generation of the harness.  However, I always questioned how Ozone would have let it out the door the way it was.... as it's noticeable within the first 5 minutes of wearing the harness.  I expect if the had moved the attachment points for the leg straps out to the sides, all would have been well. 

Although warmer due to the additional padding, I find the Ocean Rodeo Session I/II harness much more comfortable in that respect.
