Hi, I believe my harness straps are slipping through a session and thus my harness is slowly moving up, to the point it chaffed my back and upper sides.
Harness is a older mystic with dual strap. (Main an smaller lower)
Had anyone resolved a slipping strap and/or had similar problems?
I have a Mystic Majestic which has similar strap configuration. I also find I need to stop, pull down the harness and tighten the straps a few times at the beginning of a session.
I'm not sure they get loose from lack of "lock"... I think they stretch when they get wet. Still it's much better that other harnesses I've tried.
There is a liquid force harness with a cam lock system that claims to be better, but I wonder how much is marketing.
Are you sure the straps are slipping or are they slightly elongating after getting wet?
I found with my older harness that I have to wet the harness properly before putting it on and tightening the straps. This had nothing to do with straps slipping, but rather getting loose when wet vs when dry.
Dunno, give it a try.
Yeah they could be elongating, I'm not totally sure but will focus on it more next time.
I might try and rough up the clips a bit, give them more bite?
Cheers guys.
my Mystic does the same - apart from this small issue - harness has lasted really well.
Spray on adhesive glue or wax? Otherwise try tape, you could also try fitting new straps?
my webbing snapped at the apex of a boost on the weekend.
just holding onto the bar - no harness support and came down like mary poppins with skiddies.
getting back to shore was a little crappy tho.
