In the market for a new waist harness for this season. Does anyone know if any local (Perth) store have some good deals on or who to checkout online.

Mate, do yourself a favour and have one fitted by someone who knows what they're doing. I did this and am stoked about what I learned during that fitting and the results.
Try Action Sports WA.

I will only use mystic tried heaps of other brands trust me buy a mystic. Spreader bars on many other brands fail eg crack develops or just out of warranty the strap
pulls out that attaches to the spreader bar. l learnt the expensive way new harness every season some brands did not even last a season. l have had my Mystic warrior for three seasons and still going strong. When your spreader bar strap breaks your bar is out of reach.

Have to agree can't go wrong with the mystic warrior I had my first for 7 years until it was stolen. Now use a Neil Pryde very very happy

Engine harnesses look good for a custom fit. Think they send you a moulding kit for a perfect fit. Wouldn't think they'd be cheap though.

For a snug fit the mystic code 1 , comes with the boa tension system, great option if you go hard for a while during your session then tap the dial to loosen the fit , then turn the dial again to lock yourself in and go hard again, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but works superbly, just got to make sure you swill some fresh water over dial now and then to keep it sweet, had one since release and all sweet

They do, they're not, but everyone swears they're the pooche's plums. Especially the directional riders...

You gotta try em on if you can. Surely the local stores will send you a couple if different pairs to try on...?

They're already out, just ask your local shop for the 2015 and they'll order it for you. I've had my 2015 ION Apex harness for 3 weeks now.

Sorry to bomb your thread OP, but might help you with your decision.

To all the Mystic Majestic owners, any of you had issues with the harness unlocking during a session ? This has happened to me twice now, both times injuring myself. I'm guessing just a bit of sand gets in the metal lock on the front, then is giving way when pressure applied (from jump or gust of wind).

Apart from that I love the Harness, super comfortable.
BTW 2013 Mystic Majestic.
