Hi guys, looking for advise on what size to order - 30 or 32" Nitrous shorts.
I'm 31" & use a small Dakine waist harness - medium is way too big..
Also can you order just the shorts, I have a couple of Dakine spreader bars already. ?
Cheers, Top
Hey, thanks lostatsea - just looking through some old posts on KF there saying to go a size up ?
Doesn't seem to be much stock around to get to try one on.
Naish came out with a board short harness this year, it's the Targa. I have a handful of sessions with mine and it's pretty good, almost as good as the Liquid Force one but not quite. (Couldn't find a replacement as they stopped making them.) I can throw together a quick review with some pics when I put more hours on it.
Nevermind, abort! abort! Just inspected my Targa and it's already coming apart inside, only about 4 sessions on it. I'll see how long it lasts... so what size Nitrous should someone with a 32" waist get? Although, I do wear 33" boardshorts sometimes depending on the brand/style. S**t, kinda bummed out now, not wanting to go drop more cash already. ![]()
I'm size 31 and have size 32 Dakine shorts, they fit well.
Dont go down to 30.
Unless you like tight shorts![]()
im a 40" (cough cough fat basttard) in regular boardies and have had a few pairs over the years of the 38" nitrous and found they have always were spot on for me with room for a couple more pies
summing up
* i find they dont last as long as a normal seat harness
* you have to wear boxers to stop chaffing from the internal straps incase sand gets inbetween strap and skin
* cheaper than most seat harness, about $229 i think
* ****es over any seat harness for comfort
* spreader cannot dig into your chest
i swap between a waist harness and seat regularly but since i got a pair of the 2016 model nitrous few months ago i have been in them more than the waist harness they also appear to be holding up better than previous years
Thanks for the info lostatsea, I've never wore a seat harness only a waist.(so about 10 years in a waist)
Whats the difference in feel, any negatives ?
Should bring the bar closer, so that's a plus.
I'm off the nitrous idea, not as good as a waist in the surf apparently.
BTW, got a great action pic of cauncy today.
